abstract = {The intermediate filament proteins keratin K8 and K18
constitute an essential part of the cytoskeleton in simple
epithelial cell layers, structurally enforcing their
mechanical resistance. K8/K18 heterodimers form extended
filaments and higher-order structures including bundles and
networks that bind to cell junctions. We study the assembly
of these proteins in the presence of monovalent or divalent
ions by small-angle X-ray scattering. We find that both ion
species cause an increase of the filament diameter when
their concentration is increased; albeit, much higher values
are needed for the monovalent compared to the divalent ions
for the same effect. Bundling occurs also for monovalent
ions and at comparatively low concentrations of divalent
ions, very different from vimentin intermediate filaments, a
fibroblast-specific cytoskeleton component. We explain these
differences by variations in charge and hydrophobicity
patterns of the proteins. These differences may reflect the
respective physiological situation in stationary cell layers
versus single migrating fibroblasts.},
