| | Re: How are the activities of the cytoskeleton controlled and coordinated?? |
| | The reason for this rather long introduction is to point out the rather vast set of functions the cytoskeleton has and how its 'regulation' could affect a variety of cellular functions. | | | I'll have to give you a little of the current thinking in the field, by no means has this been completely verified. | | | Regulation of the cytoskeleton, however, is thought to be due to four major molecular paradigms. |

| | The Actin Cytoskeleton |
| | The critical role of membrane-cytoskeleton linkages in muscle contraction was uncovered by studies on Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a fatal, degenerative sex-linked genetic disease of muscle that affects about 1 of every 3500 males born. | | | In individuals with DMD, who lack functional dystrophin, the membrane of a muscle cell is not supported by a cortical cytoskeleton and presumably is easily damaged by the stress of repeated muscle contraction. | | | Recent evidence suggests that a membrane-microfilament linkage represents an open conformation of the molecule that is regulated by several signaling pathways possibly through both serine/threonine and tyrosine kinases. |

| | The cytoskeleton acts as both a skeleton and a muscle. | | | The cytoskeleton is a three dimensional structure found in the cytoplasm. | | | For the process of phagocytosis, the cytoskeleton helps the cell move liquid into the cell, and in the process of pinocytosis, the cytoskeleton helps the cell move large particles into the cell. |

| | Taking these functions into account it is plausible that the disruption of the cytoskeleton or even subtle changes of its integrity may cause pathological outcomes. | | | It seems that the cytoskeleton is also involved in signalling across the cell. | | | The functions of the cytoskeleton are manifold and do not only sustain the cell's shape and its mechanical scaffold. |

Vedeler). | | | However such major cytoplasmic components (actin and tubulin, the monomeric constituents of microfilaments and microtubules, are major cell proteins) must have important roles to play in cell function, and investigations into the functional role of the cytoskeleton currently represent a major area of cell biological research. | | | There is a considerable amount of data available on the protein composition of the major filament systems (microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments) but we are still comparatively ignorant about the role of the cytoskeleton in cell physiology. |

| | About Intermediate Filaments |
| | Certainly some IFPs have a particularly striking role, for example keratin isotypes function to maintain epidermal integrity, indeed certain keratin mutations result in debilitating diseases of the skin (5). | | | The coiled-coil region may also be split into three subdomains. | | | Cytoskeleton takes the effort to provide IFPs with >95% nativity which allows you unmatched confidence in your results (see later on Working with Intermediate Filament proteins in vitro for a full description of what is necessary to produce the native form). |
