Intermediate filaments

  • REVIEW
    The diverse roles and dynamic rearrangement of vimentin during viral infection
    Yue Zhang, Zeyu Wen, Xuemeng Shi, Yan-Jun Liu, John E. Eriksson, Yaming Jiu
    Journal of Cell Science 2021 134: jcs250597 doi: 10.1242/jcs.250597 Published 5 November 2020

    Summary: A review on the versatile regulations of vimentin in the key steps during the infection of various viruses, including binding, entry, trafficking, replication, assembly, and egress.

  • SHORT REPORT
    Disease-associated keratin mutations reduce traction forces and compromise adhesion and collective migration
    Sachiko Fujiwara, Shinji Deguchi, Thomas M. Magin
    Journal of Cell Science 2020 133: jcs243956 doi: 10.1242/jcs.243956 Published 29 July 2020

    Summary: An epidermolysis bullosa simplex-associated keratin mutation causes defects in mechanotransduction. Keratin networks regulate traction force generation through a Rho signaling pathway upstream of cell–ECM adhesion formation and organized cell migration.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    SNAP29 mediates the assembly of histidine-induced CTP synthase filaments in proximity to the cytokeratin network
    Archan Chakraborty, Wei-Cheng Lin, Yu-Tsun Lin, Kuang-Jing Huang, Pei-Yu Wang, Ian Yi-Feng Chang, Hsiang-Iu Wang, Kung-Ting Ma, Chun-Yen Wang, Xuan-Rong Huang, Yen-Hsien Lee, Bi-Chang Chen, Ya-Ju Hsieh, Kun-Yi Chien, Tzu-Yang Lin, Ji-Long Liu, Li-Ying Sung, Jau-Song Yu, Yu-Sun Chang, Li-Mei Pai
    Journal of Cell Science 2020 133: jcs240200 doi: 10.1242/jcs.240200 Published 11 May 2020

    Summary: Nutrition starvation stress induces a spatiotemporal interaction of SNAP29 with the cytokeratin network, which mediates the assembly of CTP synthase filaments along the cytokeratin network to modulate enzymatic activity.

  • REVIEW
    Scaling up single-cell mechanics to multicellular tissues – the role of the intermediate filament–desmosome network
    Joshua A. Broussard, Avinash Jaiganesh, Hoda Zarkoob, Daniel E. Conway, Alexander R. Dunn, Horacio D. Espinosa, Paul A. Janmey, Kathleen J. Green
    Journal of Cell Science 2020 133: jcs228031 doi: 10.1242/jcs.228031 Published 16 March 2020

    Summary: A review of the roles of intermediate filaments and desmosomes in mechanobiology, highlighting their integration with other cytoskeletal and adhesive systems.

  • HYPOTHESIS
    A rim-and-spoke hypothesis to explain the biomechanical roles for cytoplasmic intermediate filament networks
    Roy A. Quinlan, Nicole Schwarz, Reinhard Windoffer, Christine Richardson, Tim Hawkins, Joshua A. Broussard, Kathleen J. Green, Rudolf E. Leube
    Journal of Cell Science 2017 130: 3437-3445; doi: 10.1242/jcs.202168

    Summary: The cytoplasmic intermediate filament comprises a rim and spoke arrangement supporting the plasma membrane and connecting to the nucleus, to deliver their mechanosensory functions.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    A mutation in keratin 18 that causes caspase-digestion resistance protects homozygous transgenic mice from hepatic apoptosis and injury
    Han-Na Yoon, Sung-Yeon Yoon, Jin-Hyuck Hong, Nam-On Ku
    Journal of Cell Science 2017 130: 2541-2550; doi: 10.1242/jcs.187492

    Summary: K18 that is resistant to caspase digestion helps to maintain keratin filament organization and delays apoptosis, thereby protecting liver from injury.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Desmin and αB-crystallin interplay in the maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis and cardiomyocyte survival
    Antigoni Diokmetzidou, Elisavet Soumaka, Ismini Kloukina, Mary Tsikitis, Manousos Makridakis, Aimilia Varela, Constantinos H. Davos, Spiros Georgopoulos, Vasiliki Anesti, Antonia Vlahou, Yassemi Capetanaki
    Journal of Cell Science 2016 129: 3705-3720; doi: 10.1242/jcs.192203

    Highlighted Article: Both desmin and its partner chaperone αB-crystallin associate with mitochondria–sarcoplasmic-reticulum contact sites (MAMs), stabilizing MICOS super-complexes, and thus contributing to proper mitochondrial cristae structure–function.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The BAG-1 isoform BAG-1M regulates keratin-associated Hsp70 chaperoning of aPKC in intestinal cells during activation of inflammatory signaling
    Anastasia Mashukova, Zhanna Kozhekbaeva, Radia Forteza, Vipin Dulam, Yolanda Figueroa, Robert Warren, Pedro J. Salas
    Journal of Cell Science 2014 127: 3568-3577; doi: 10.1242/jcs.151084
  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Nestin regulates prostate cancer cell invasion by influencing the localisation and functions of FAK and integrins
    Claire L. Hyder, Glorianne Lazaro, Joanna W. Pylvänäinen, Maxwell W. G. Roberts, Susanna M. Qvarnström, John E. Eriksson
    Journal of Cell Science 2014 127: 2161-2173; doi: 10.1242/jcs.125062
  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Phosphorylation of serine 4642 in the C-terminus of plectin by MNK2 and PKA modulates its interaction with intermediate filaments
    Jamal-Eddine Bouameur, Yann Schneider, Nadja Begré, Ryan P. Hobbs, Prakash Lingasamy, Lionel Fontao, Kathleen J. Green, Bertrand Favre, Luca Borradori
    Journal of Cell Science 2013 126: 4195-4207; doi: 10.1242/jcs.127779
