  • Title: Intermediate filaments and their associated proteins: multiple dynamic personalities.
    Author: Houseweart MK, Cleveland DW.
    Journal: Curr Opin Cell Biol; 1998 Feb; 10(1):93-101. PubMed ID: 9484600.
    Abstract:
    A fusion of mouse and human genetics has now proven that intermediate filaments form a flexible scaffold essential for structuring cytoplasm in a variety of cell contexts. In some cases, the formation of this scaffold is achieved through a newly identified family of intermediate-filament-associated proteins that form cross-bridges between intermediate filaments and other cytoskeletal elements, including actin and microtubules.
