Intermediate filament scaffolds fulfill mechanical, organizational, and signaling functions in the cytoplasm

Open access

Abstract

Intermediate filaments (IFs) are cytoskeletal polymers whose protein constituents are encoded by a large family of differentially expressed genes. Owing in part to their properties and intracellular organization, IFs provide crucial structural support in the cytoplasm and nucleus, the perturbation of which causes cell and tissue fragility and accounts for a large number of genetic diseases in humans. A number of additional roles, nonmechanical in nature, have been recently uncovered for IF proteins. These include the regulation of key signaling pathways that control cell survival, cell growth, and vectorial processes including protein targeting in polarized cellular settings. As this discovery process continues to unfold, a rationale for the large size of this family and the context-dependent regulation of its members is finally emerging.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
