Axonal transport of neurofilament (NFs) is considered to be regulated by phosphorylation. While existing evidence for this hypothesis is compelling, supportive studies have been largely restricted to correlative evidence and/or experimental systems involving mutants. We tested this hypothesis in ret

Site-specific phosphorylation of intermediate filament (IF) proteins on serine and threonine residues leads to alteration of the filament structure, in vitro and in vivo. Protein kinases involved in cell signaling and those activated in mitosis dynamically control spatial and temporal organization o
RN46A cells, a conditionally immortalized neuronal cell line derived from E12 rat medullary raphe nucleus, upregulate low M r (68 kDa, neurofilament [NF]-L) and medium M r (160 kDa, NF-M) neurofilament protein expression upon activation of protein kinase A (PKA). To examine possible transcriptional
