Mechanism of intermediate filament recognition by plakin repeat domains revealed by envoplakin targeting of vimentin
Plakin proteins link cell junctions to cytoskeletal frameworks, and their disruption within epithelial and cardiac muscle cells cause skin blistering diseases and cardiomyopathies. Here the authors use structural biology approaches to reveal the mechanism that allows plakins to recognize intermediat...
