Which junction uses keratin fibers to anchor cells to each other?

To keep the nucleus situated in the center of the cell, keratin fibers link the nuclear envelope to cytoplasmic plaques on desmosomes and hemidesmosomes.
Keratin may be involved elsewhere well, but I am positive it functions in the aforementioned junctions, at least.

The keratin made by the hair follicle cells makes long fibers. The cells, growing just under the scalp, eventually die, leaving the keratin behind. This keratin, combined with the keratin left by many other cells, emerge from your scalp as hair.
At what junction do nerves contact skeletal muscle fibers?
Motor neurons meet the muscle cells at neuromuscular junctions. Neurotransmitters are passed from the nerve across a synaptic cleft to the muscle to make it contract. Any damage to this nerve will mean that those cells will not contract (move).

What is the job of the keratin?
Keratin is a protein responsible for the hardening process(keratinised) that cells undergo when they change from living cells with a nucleus to dead cells without a nucleus.
