Intermediate filaments with novel protein composition from certain goldfish cells.
Using the conditions for vimentin filament recycling, intermediate filaments (approximately 10 nm) were prepared from the cytoskeleton of a goldfish tumor cell line (erythrophoroma or xanthophoroma). 2-D analysis showed unusual protein composition, with four proteins of molecular weights of 60, 45, 56 and 51 kilodaltons in ratios of approximately 4:4:1:1. These correspond to four of the major cytoskeletal proteins of both the tumor cells and normal xanthophores.
