They form bundles and networks with adapted viscoelastic properties and are strongly interconnected with the other filament types, microfilaments and microtubules. IFs are cell type specific and apart from biochemical functions, they act as mechanical entities to provide stability and resilience to cells and tissues. We review the physical properties of these abundant structural proteins including both in vitro studies and cell experiments. IFs are hierarchical structures and their physical properties seem to a large part be encoded in the very specific architecture of the biopolymers. Thus, we begin our review by presenting the assembly mechanism, followed by the mechanical properties of individual filaments, network and structure formation due to electrostatic interactions, and eventually the mechanics of in vitro and cellular networks.

Specialized intracellular filaments in the cytoskeleton permit living systems to divide, migrate, and growwith a high degree of variability and durability. Among the three filament systems,microfilaments,microtubules, and intermediate filaments (IFs), the physical properties of IFs and their role in cellular mechanics are the least well understood. We use optical trapping of individual vimentin filaments to investigate energy dissipation, strain history dependence, and creep behavior of stretched filaments. By stochastic and numerical modeling, we link our experimental observations to the peculiar molecular architecture of IFs. We find that individual vimentin filaments display tensile memory and are able to dissipate more than 70% of the input energy.We attribute these phenomena to distinct nonequilibrium folding and unfolding of a helices in the vimentin monomers constituting the filaments."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2018"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1126/sciadv.aat1161"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/15341"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/59334"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.issn","2375-2548"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Institut für Röntgenphysik"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Physik"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Köster (Cellular Biophysics)"],["dc.rights","CC BY-NC 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.subject.ddc","530"],["dc.subject.gro","cytoskeleton"],["dc.subject.gro","cellular biophysics"],["dc.title","Viscoelastic properties of vimentin originate from nonequilibrium conformational changes"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
