HMM-decorated filaments in leukocyte nucleus.
HMM-decorated filaments could be observed in the leukocyte nucleus under an electron microscope. The filaments were distributed in parallel or randomly among chromatin granules and showed "arrowhead" structures similar to those of cytoplasmic filaments. These observations suggest that the leukocyte nucleus may possess contractile filaments containing actins which probably function in the struct...
متن کاملNucleus-associated intermediate filaments from chicken erythrocytes
Chicken erythrocyte nuclei prepared by isolation in isotonic KCl and Nonidet P-40 detergent were found to contain numerous attached filaments with a mean diameter of 11.0 nm. In polypeptide content and solubility properties, they resembled the vimentin type of intermediate filament found in cells of mesenchymal origin. Examination of their association with the nucleus suggests that more than a ...
متن کاملCytoplasmic intermediate filaments mediate actin-driven positioning of the nucleus.
The localization of the nucleus is precisely regulated, and defects in nuclear positioning are observed in diseases such as lissencephaly, cerebellar ataxia and dysplasia. We show here that cytoplasmic intermediate filaments are essential players in actin-dependent positioning of the nucleus. The actin retrograde flow is relayed by a flow of intermediate filaments that accumulate asymmetrically...
متن کاملConnecting the plasma membrane to the nucleus by intermediate filaments
Toward a better characterization of IF networks The IF gene superfamily encodes >50 different proteins that assemble into distinct, nonpolar supramolecular structures in the cytoplasm and the nucleus (Herrmann and Aebi, 2016). The composition of the IF network varies not only among cell types but also during cell differentiation and pathological conditions such as cancer development. Shedding f...
متن کاملTentacle contraction in glycerinated Discophrya collini and the localization of HMM-binding filaments.
The contractile tentacles of the suctorian Discophrya collini contain a central microtubular axoneme as well as filamentous structures in the cortical epiplasm and in a fibrous collar around the axoneme at the tentacle base. The nature and possible roles of these components has been investigated by the use of reactivatable glycerinated cells. In these a mean tentacle contraction to 70% of the o...
