FERM (Four.1 protein, Ezrin, Radixin, Moesin) domain, F1 sub-domain, found in FERM domain-containing protein 6 (FRMD6); FRMD6, also termed willin, expanded or expanded homolog, is a FERM domain-containing protein that plays a critical role in regulating both cell proliferation and apoptosis. It acts as a tumor suppressor of human breast cancer cells independently of the Hippo pathway. It also inhibits human glioblastoma growth and progression by negatively regulating activity of receptor tyrosine kinases. As an upstream component of the hippo signaling pathway, FRMD6 orchestrates mammalian peripheral nerve fibroblasts. FRMD6 contains a FERM domain that is made up of three sub-domains, F1, F2, and F3. This family corresponds to the F1 sub-domain, which is also called the N-terminal ubiquitin-like structural domain of the FERM domain (FERM_N). : Pssm-ID: 340718 Cd Length: 98 Bit Score: 218.24 E-value: 7.88e-69

FERM domain C-lobe of FERM domain containing 1 and 6 proteins; FRMD6 (also called willin and hEx/human expanded) is localized throughout the cytoplasm or along the plasma membrane. The Drosophilla protein Ex is a regulator of the Hippo/SWH (Sav/Wts/Hpo) signaling pathway, a signaling pathway that plays a pivotal role in organ size control and is tumor suppression by restricting proliferation and promoting apoptosis. Surprisingly, hEx is thought to function independently of the Hippo pathway. Instead it is hypothesized that hEx inhibits progression through the S phase of the cell cycle by upregulating p21(Cip1) and downregulating Cyclin A. It is also implicated in the progression of Alzheimer disease. Not much is known about FRMD1 to date. Both FRMD1 and FRMD6 contains a single FERM domain which has a cloverleaf tripart structure composed of: (1) FERM_N (A-lobe or F1); (2) FERM_M (B-lobe, or F2); and (3) FERM_C (C-lobe or F3). The C-lobe is a member of the PH superfamily. The FERM domain is found in the cytoskeletal-associated proteins such as ezrin, moesin, radixin, 4.1R, and merlin. These proteins provide a link between the membrane and cytoskeleton and are involved in signal transduction pathways. The FERM domain is also found in protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) , the tyrosine kinases FAK and JAK, in addition to other proteins involved in signaling. This domain is structurally similar to the PH and PTB domains and consequently is capable of binding to both peptides and phospholipids at different sites. : Pssm-ID: 270006 Cd Length: 107 Bit Score: 165.94 E-value: 5.25e-49

FERM domain C-lobe of Protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor 13 (PTPH13); There are many functions of PTPN13 (also called PTPL1, PTP-BAS, hPTP1E, FAP1, or PTPL1). Mice lacking PTPN13 activity have abnormal regulation of signal transducer and activator of transcription signaling in their T cells, mild impairment of motor nerve repair, and a significant reduction in the growth of retinal glia cultures. It also plays a role in adipocyte differentiation. PTPN13 contains a kinase non-catalytic C-lobe domain (KIND), a FERM domain with two potential phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2]-binding motifs, 5 PDZ domains, and a carboxy-terminal catalytic domain. There is an nteraction between the FERM domain of PTPL1 and PtdIns(4,5)P2 which is thought to regulate the membrane localization of PTPN13. PDZ are protein/protein interaction domains so there is the potential for numerous partners that can actively participate in the regulation of its phosphatase activity or can permit direct or indirect recruitment of tyrosine phosphorylated PTPL1 substrates. The FERM domain has a cloverleaf tripart structure composed of: (1) FERM_N (A-lobe or F1); (2) FERM_M (B-lobe, or F2); and (3) FERM_C (C-lobe or F3).

FERM (Four.1 protein, Ezrin, Radixin, Moesin) domain, F1 sub-domain, found in tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 13 (PTPN13); PTPN13, also termed Fas-associated protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1 (FAP-1), or PTP-BAS, or protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1E (PTP-E1 or PTPE1), or protein-tyrosine phosphatase PTPL1, belongs to the non-transmembrane FERM-containing protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) subfamily characterized by a KIND domain, a FERM domain, five PDZ domains, and a C-terminal PTP catalytic domain. The FERM domain is made up of three sub-domains, F1, F2, and F3. This family corresponds to the F1 sub-domain, which is also called the N-terminal ubiquitin-like structural domain of the FERM domain (FERM_N).

FRMD4B, also termed GRP1-binding protein GRSP1, interacts with the coil-coil domain of ARF exchange factor GRP1 to form the Grsp1-Grp1 complex that co-localizes with cortical actin rich regions in response to stimulation of CHO-T cells with insulin or epidermal growth factor (EGF).

222-317 | 1.80e-04 | ||||
FERM domain C-lobe/F3 of the ERM family; The ERM family includes ezrin, radixin, moesin and merlin. They are composed of a N-terminal FERM (ERM) domain (also called N-ERMAD (N-terminal ERM association domain)), a coiled coil region (CRR), and a C-terminal domain CERMAD (C-terminal ERM association domain) which has an F-actin-binding site (ABD). Two actin-binding sites have been identified in the middle and N-terminal domains. Merlin is structurally similar to the ERM proteins, but instead of an actin-binding domain (ABD), it contains a C-terminal domain (CTD), just like the proteins from the 4.1 family. Activated ezrin, radixin and moesin are thought to be involved in the linking of actin filaments to CD43, CD44, ICAM1-3 cell adhesion molecules, various membrane channels and receptors, such as the Na+/H+ exchanger-3 (NHE3), cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), and the beta2-adrenergic receptor. The ERM proteins exist in two states, a dormant state in which the FERM domain binds to its own C-terminal tail and thereby precludes binding of some partner proteins, and an activated state, in which the FERM domain binds to one of many membrane binding proteins and the C-terminal tail binds to F-actin. The FERM domain has a cloverleaf tripart structure composed of: (1) FERM_N (A-lobe or F1); (2) FERM_M (B-lobe, or F2); and (3) FERM_C (C-lobe or F3). The C-lobe/F3 within the FERM domain of ERM is part of the PH domain family. The FERM domain is found in the cytoskeletal-associated proteins such as ezrin, moesin, radixin, 4.1R, and merlin. These proteins provide a link between the membrane and cytoskeleton and are involved in signal transduction pathways. The FERM domain is also found in protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), the tyrosine kinases FAK and JAK, in addition to other proteins involved in signaling. This domain is structurally similar to the PH and PTB domains and consequently is capable of binding to both peptides and phospholipids at different sites.
