Two very important IFs are keratin and vimentin, which have similar molecular architectures but different mechanical behaviors. Here we compare the mechanical response of single keratin and vimentin filaments using optical tweezers. We show that the mechanics of vimentin strongly depends on the ionic strength of the buffer and that its force-strain curve suggests a high degree of cooperativity between subunits. Indeed, a computational model indicates that in contrast to keratin, vimentin is characterized by strong lateral subunit coupling of its charged monomers during unfolding of α helices. We conclude that cells can tune their mechanics by differential use of keratin versus vimentin."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1103/PhysRevLett.123.188102"],["dc.identifier.eissn","1079-7114"],["dc.identifier.issn","0031-9007"],["dc.identifier.pmid","31763918"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/75854"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-354"],["dc.relation","info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/724932/EU//MECHANICS"],["dc.relation.eissn","1079-7114"],["dc.relation.issn","0031-9007"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Physik"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Institut für Röntgenphysik"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Köster (Cellular Biophysics)"],["dc.rights","CC BY-NC-ND 4.0"],["dc.rights.access","openAccess"],["dc.rights.uri","http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/"],["dc.subject","intermediate filaments; optical tweezers; atomic force microscopy; cytoskeleton; biomechanics; Monte Carlo simulation"],["dc.subject.ddc","530"],["dc.subject.gro","cytoskeleton"],["dc.subject.gro","cellular biophysics"],["dc.title","Lateral Subunit Coupling Determines Intermediate Filament Mechanics"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","submitted_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Among the three filamentous components, F-actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments (IFs), the IF network is by far the most extensible and resilient to stress. We present a multiscale approach to disentangle the three main contributions to vimentin IF network mechanics—single-filament mechanics, filament length, and interactions between filaments—including their temporal evolution. Combining particle tracking, quadruple optical trapping, and computational modeling, we derive quantitative information on the strength and kinetics of filament interactions. Specifically, we find that hydrophobic contributions to network mechanics enter mostly via filament-elongation kinetics, whereas electrostatics have a direct influence on filament–filament interactions."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1073/pnas.2102026118"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/87447"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation.issn","0027-8424"],["dc.relation.issn","1091-6490"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Institut für Röntgenphysik"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Köster (Cellular Biophysics)"],["dc.subject.gro","cytoskeleton"],["dc.subject.gro","cellular biophysics"],["dc.title","Multiscale mechanics and temporal evolution of vimentin intermediate filament networks"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Growing evidence suggests that the manifold tasks of the cytoskeleton rely on the interactions between its filamentous components—actin filaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. However, the nature of these interactions and their impact on cytoskeletal dynamics are largely unknown. Here, we show in a reconstituted in vitro system that vimentin intermediate filaments stabilize microtubules against depolymerization and support microtubule rescue. To understand these stabilizing effects, we directly measure the interaction forces between individual microtubules and vimentin filaments. Combined with numerical simulations, our observations provide detailed insight into the physical nature of the interactions and how they affect microtubule dynamics. Thus, we describe an additional, direct mechanism by which cells establish the fundamental cross talk of cytoskeletal components alongside linker proteins. Moreover, we suggest a strategy to estimate the binding energy of tubulin dimers within the microtubule lattice."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2021"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/s41467-021-23523-z"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/87261"],["dc.relation.issn","2041-1723"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Institut für Röntgenphysik"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Köster (Cellular Biophysics)"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.subject.gro","cytoskeleton"],["dc.subject.gro","cellular biophysics"],["dc.title","Vimentin intermediate filaments stabilize dynamic microtubules by direct interactions"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
