Abstract

Using mutagenesis, we investigated the importance of two vimentin domains: (a) a highly conserved segment near the carboxy end of the alpha-helical rod, and (b) the tail, with which the rod end is known to interact. As judged by in vitro filament assembly and expression in transiently transfected cells lacking an endogenous vimentin network, the rod-tail interaction is not essential for 10 nm filament structure in vitro or for formation of fibrous arrays in culture. However, when mutated, amino acid residues within the rod and the tail segments can cause perturbations in IF assembly and in IF network formation. Finally, our studies show that the vimentin tail seems to play a role both in thermodynamically stabilizing IF structure in vitro and in establishing proper IF networks in vivo.

摘要

我们利用诱变技术研究了波形蛋白两个结构域的重要性

(a) α-螺旋杆状结构羧基末端附近的一个高度保守片段,以及(b) 已知与杆状结构末端相互作用的尾部。通过体外丝状组装以及在缺乏内源性波形蛋白网络的瞬时转染细胞中的表达来判断,杆状结构与尾部的相互作用对于体外10 nm丝状结构或培养物中纤维阵列的形成并非必不可少。然而,当杆状结构和尾部片段内的氨基酸残基发生突变时,会导致中间丝组装和中间丝网络形成受到干扰。最后,我们的研究表明,波形蛋白尾部似乎在体外热力学稳定中间丝结构以及在体内建立适当的中间丝网络方面都发挥着作用。
