Implementing the AIFMD: Success or failure? ECMI Commentary No. 34, 28 March 2013
No full textThis commentary considers the implementation of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) by the European Commission. The AIFMD creates an internal market for asset management and as an endeavour to develop market-based finance is an important piece of legislation for the European economy. The author, Mirzha de Manuel Aramendía, considers the implementation of some of the provisions that raised concern among industry participants. He finds that, on balance, a practical and flexible approach to implementation has been followed that should help secure the success of the framework, which at present is still uncertain. The commentary also considers the remuneration guidelines adopted recently by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). It encourages EU and national authorities to commit to the success of the AIFMD framework, as part of a broader effort to develop capital markets and reduce the historical reliance of the European economy on bank finance

Ion type and valency differentially drive vimentin tetramers into intermediate filaments or higher order assemblies
No full textVimentin intermediate filaments, together with actin filaments and microtubules, constitute the cytoskeleton
in cells of mesenchymal origin. The mechanical properties of the filaments themselves are encoded in their
molecular architecture and depend on their ionic environment. It is thus of great interest to disentangle the
influence of both the ion type and their concentration on vimentin assembly. We combine small angle X-ray
scattering and fluorescence microscopy and show that vimentin in the presence of the monovalent ions,
K+ and Na+, assembles into ‘‘standard filaments’’ with a radius of about 6 nm and 32 monomers per crosssection.
In contrast, di- and multivalent ions, independent of type and valency, lead to the formation of
thicker filaments associating over time into higher order structures. Hence, our results may indeed be of
relevance for living cells, as local ion concentrations in the cytoplasm during certain physiological activities
may differ considerably from average intracellular concentrations
