Proposed model of the steric effect of S‐glutathionylation (marked as orange pin, right panel) on the vimentin filamentation process in comparison with Vim‐WT (left panel). Contact sites between pep1A (dark blue) and pep2A (cyan) are not disturbed in Vim‐SSG when ULF is formed (A), but S‐glutathionylation severely blocks contacts between peptides pep1A and pep2B (green) during longitudinal assembly into filaments (B).
