Together with microtubules and actin microfilaments, approximately 11 nm wide intermediate filaments (IFs) constitute the integrated, dynamic filament network present in the cytoplasm of metazoan cells. This network is critically involved in division, motility and other cellular processes. While the
We have examined the gene expression of two radial glia intermediate filament proteins, transitin and vimentin, in the developing chick CNS. Despite global similarities in their mRNA distributions, marked regional differences are observed. Most notably, we show that transitin mRNA is localized along
Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) methods have been used to provide high-resolution separation of wool intermediate filament proteins (IFPs). An improved method of extraction was developed based on a previously published method. The improved method for extraction eliminat
Genomic studies have shown that there are four abundant type I and type II intermediate filament proteins (IFPs) in wool. When separated using 2D-PAGE, the type I IFPs separated into four clearly defined major rows. The type II IFPs separated into two distinct staggered rows. The large number of spo
