Abstract

Intermediate filaments (IFs) are integral to the cell cytoskeleton, supporting cellular mechanical stability. Unlike other cytoskeletal components, the detailed structure of assembled IFs has yet to be resolved. This review highlights new insights, linking the complex IF hierarchical assembly to their mechanical properties and impact on cellular functions. While we focus on vimentin IFs, we draw comparisons to keratins, showcasing the distinctive structural and mechanical features that underlie their unique mechanical responses.

中间丝力学的结构决定因素

中间丝（IFs）是细胞细胞骨架不可或缺的组成部分，支撑着细胞的机械稳定性。与其他细胞骨架成分不同，组装好的中间丝的详细结构尚未得到解决。这篇综述重点介绍了将复杂的 IF 分层组装与其机械特性和对细胞功能的影响联系起来的新见解。我们在关注波形蛋白 IFs 的同时，还将其与角蛋白进行了比较，展示了它们独特的结构和机械特征，这些特征是它们独特的机械反应的基础。
