The phrase "assembly of filaments" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to biology, materials science, or engineering, where filaments are being organized or structured together.
Example: "The assembly of filaments in the cytoskeleton provides structural support to the cell."
Alternatives: "collection of filaments" or "arrangement of filaments".
Assembly of filaments in the cytoplasm drives MRTF into the nucleus, while the assembly of filaments inside the nucleus depletes monomeric actin from this compartment and relieves its inhibitory effect on MRTF (Vartiainen et al., 2007).
In this study we have optimized the generation of fluorescently labeled vimentin for the unperturbed in vitro assembly of filaments.
In contrast, astrocytes affect HIV-infected microglial cytoskeleton proteins that could lead to assembly of filaments and formation of plasma membrane projections.
This suggests that the higher order assembly of filaments into microscopically visible fibrils is a cooperative and less favorable process.
New experimental system should be comprised of three main components: microtubule filaments, motor proteins called kinesin, which consume chemical fuel to move along microtubules, and a bundling agent that induces assembly of filaments into bundles.
The self assembly of filament proteins including actin, viral coat proteins and spherical complexes of mammalian small heat shock proteins (sHSP) are dynamic equilibria suggesting the fundamental importance of dynamic equilibria in self assembly of numerous cellular macromolecules [6], [7], [8], [9], [10].
However bundles formed by each protein differ in how they are organized at the molecular scale: MamK bundles are twisted assemblies of filaments, MamK-like bundles appear as straight assemblies, although the basic structure of the filament looks conserved (striated, with similar diameter).
It is possible that short, unstable actin filaments are present since there is sometimes diffuse or speckled phalloidin staining, versus higher-order assemblies of filaments found in cables and the contractile ring.
The smyhc1 knockdown phenotype clearly indicates a critical role for myosin thick filaments in the organized assembly of thin filaments in skeletal muscles.
Moreover, we demonstrate by quantitative atomic force microscopy and electron microscopy that the morphology and the assembly properties of filaments were not affected when the fraction of labeled vimentin was below 10%.
Our EM experiments demonstrate that SlmA DNA does not prevent FtsZ filament formation but severely affects the higher order assembly of FtsZ filaments, leading to unique higher order spiral-like structures.
