Abstract
The cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells is a complex array composed of three sets of filaments: (1) microfilaments, 4 to 7 nm in diameter, made up mainly of actin; (2) intermediate filaments, 8 to 11 nm in diameter, formed by at least five distinct classes of proteins; and (3) microtubules, 25 nm in diameter, consisting of tubulin (for review, see Alberts et al., 1983). Many proteins have been described that interconnect these filaments or link them to various organelles. The cytoskeleton is involved in many basic cellular functions, including maintenance of cell shape, motility, organelle movement, and mitosis. Studies of cytoskeletal protein expression and organization have increased our understanding of the cellular adaptation during differentiation and pathological processes (for a review, see Rungger-Brändle and Gabbiani, 1983).
