We systematically investigate how changes in the concentration of monovalent potassium and divalent magnesium ions affect the internal organization of the resulting filaments. Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is very sensitive to changes in the filament cross-section such as diameter or compactness. Our measurements reveal that filaments formed in the presence of magnesium chloride differ distinctly from filaments formed in the presence of potassium chloride. The principle multi-step assembly mechanism from tetramers via unit-length filaments (ULF) to elongated filaments is not changed by the valency of ions. However, the observed differences indicate that the magnesium ions free the head domains of tetramers from unproductive interactions to allow assembly but at the same time mediate strong inter-tetrameric interactions that impede longitudinal annealing of unit-length filaments considerably, thus slowing down filament growth."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1039/c3sm52532e"],["dc.identifier.gro","3142216"],["dc.identifier.isi","000332463300021"],["dc.identifier.pmid","24800271"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/5821"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.relation.eissn","1744-6848"],["dc.relation.issn","1744-683X"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Institut für Röntgenphysik"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Köster (Cellular Biophysics)"],["dc.subject.gro","x-ray scattering"],["dc.subject.gro","cytoskeleton"],["dc.subject.gro","molecular biophysics"],["dc.title","Impact of ion valency on the assembly of vimentin studied by quantitative small angle X-ray scattering"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

In vitro, the rod-like monomers assemble in a multi-step, salt-dependent manner into micrometer long biopolymers. To disclose the underlying mechanisms further, we employed small angle X-ray scattering on two recombinant vimentin variants, whose assembly departs at strategic points from the normal assembly route: (i) vimentin with a tyrosine to leucine change at position 117; (ii) vimentin missing the non-α-helical carboxyl-terminal domain. Y117L vimentin assembles into unit-length filaments (ULFs) only, whereas ΔT vimentin assembles into filaments containing a higher number of tetramers per cross section than normal vimentin filaments. We show that the shape and inner structure of these mutant filaments is significantly altered. ULFs assembled from Y117L vimentin contain more, less tightly bundled vimentin tetramers, and ΔT vimentin filaments preserve the number density despite the higher number of tetramers per filament cross-section."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1039/c8sm02281j"],["dc.identifier.pmid","30719518"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/15958"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/59791"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.issn","1744-6848"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Physik"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Institut für Röntgenphysik"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Köster (Cellular Biophysics)"],["dc.rights","CC BY-NC 3.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/"],["dc.subject.ddc","530"],["dc.subject.gro","cellular biophysics"],["dc.subject.mesh","Humans"],["dc.subject.mesh","Intermediate Filaments"],["dc.subject.mesh","Mutation"],["dc.subject.mesh","Protein Subunits"],["dc.subject.mesh","Scattering, Small Angle"],["dc.subject.mesh","Vimentin"],["dc.subject.mesh","X-Ray Diffraction"],["dc.title","Mutation-induced alterations of intra-filament subunit organization in vimentin filaments revealed by SAXS"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The combination of microfluidics and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) provides a powerful tool to investigate the kinetics of this process on the relevant timescales. Microfluidic mixers based on the principle of hydrodynamic focusing allow for precise control of the mixing of proteins and smaller reagents like ions. Here, we present a multi-layer device that prevents proteins from adsorbing to the channel walls by engulfing the protein jet with a fluid layer of buffer. To ensure compatibility with SAXS, the device is fabricated from UV-curable adhesive (NOA 81). To demonstrate the successful prevention of contact between the protein jet and the channel walls we measure the distribution of a fluorescent dye in the device by confocal microscopy at various flow speeds and compare the results to finite element method (FEM) simulations. The prevention of contact enables the investigation of the assembly of IFs in flow by gradually increasing the salt concentration in the protein jet. The diffusion of salt into the jet can be determined by FEM simulations. SAXS data are collected at different positions in the jet, corresponding to different salt concentrations, and they reveal distinct differences between the earliest assembly states. We find that the mean square radius of gyration perpendicular to the filament axis increases from 13 nm(2) to 58 nm(2) upon assembly. Thereby we provide dynamic structural data of a complex assembly process that was amenable up to now only by microscopic techniques."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1039/c0lc00319k"],["dc.identifier.gro","3142804"],["dc.identifier.isi","000286765700019"],["dc.identifier.pmid","21212871"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/10269"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/249"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes","This publication is with permission of the rights owner freely accessible due to an Alliance licence and a national licence (funded by the DFG, German Research Foundation) respectively."],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10 / Funder: German Research Foundation (DFG) [SFB 755]; European Commission [226716]"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.relation","info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/226716/EU//ELISA"],["dc.relation.issn","1473-0197"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Institut für Röntgenphysik"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Physik"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Köster (Cellular Biophysics)"],["dc.subject.gro","x-ray scattering"],["dc.subject.gro","cytoskeleton"],["dc.subject.gro","molecular biophysics"],["dc.subject.gro","microfluidics"],["dc.subject.mesh","Adhesives"],["dc.subject.mesh","Adsorption"],["dc.subject.mesh","Finite Element Analysis"],["dc.subject.mesh","Fluorescein"],["dc.subject.mesh","Humans"],["dc.subject.mesh","Microfluidic Analytical Techniques"],["dc.subject.mesh","Recombinant Proteins"],["dc.subject.mesh","Scattering, Small Angle"],["dc.subject.mesh","Vimentin"],["dc.subject.mesh","X-Ray Diffraction"],["dc.title","Dynamics of intermediate filament assembly followed in micro-flow by small angle X-ray scattering"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
