Retinal pigmented epithelial cells of chicken have circumferential microfilament bundles (CMBs) at the zonula adherens region. Isolated CMBs are polygons filled with a meshwork composed primarily of intermediate filaments; they show three major components of 200000, 55000, and 42000 daltons in SDS-gel electrophoresis. Here we have characterized the 55000-dalton protein immunochemically and ultrastructurally. Immunoblotting and immunofluorescence microscopy have shown that the 55000-dalton protein is an intermediate filament protein, vimentin.
