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.

Ezrin/radixin/moesin family C terminal; This entry represents the C-terminal domain of the ERM family of proteins which consists of three closely-related proteins, ezrin, radixin and moesin. These proteins link actin filaments of cell surface structures to the plasma membrane, using a C-terminal F-actin binding segment and an N-terminal FERM domain (pfam00373), a common membrane binding module. Ezrin was first identified as a constituent of microvilli, radixin as a barbed, end-capping actin-modulating protein from isolated junctional fractions and moesin as a heparin binding protein. A tumour suppressor molecule responsible for neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is highly similar to ERM proteins and has been designated merlin (moesin-ezrin-radixin-like protein). This entry represents the C-terminal actin-binding tail domain. This entry also includes Ermin proteins, oligodendrocyte-specific proteins associated with the cytoskeleton whose C-terminal domain is similar to that in ERM family.

FERM (Four.1 protein, Ezrin, Radixin, Moesin) domain, F1 sub-domain, found in merlin and similar proteins; Merlin, also termed moesin-ezrin-radixin-like protein, or neurofibromin-2 (NF2), or Schwannomerlin, or Schwannomin, is a member of the ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM) family of cytoskeletal proteins that plays an essential role in microvilli formation, T-cell activation, and tumor metastasis through providing a regulated linkage between F-actin and membrane-associated proteins. These proteins may also function in signaling cascades that regulate the assembly of actin stress fibers. The ERM proteins consist of an N-terminal FERM domain, a coiled-coil (CC) domain and a C-terminal tail segment (C-tail) containing a well-defined actin-binding motif, merlin however lacks the typical actin-binding motif in the C-tail. 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). Merlin plays vital roles in controlling proper development of organ sizes by specifically binding to a large number of target proteins localized both in cytoplasm and nuclei. Merlin may function as a tumor suppressor that functions upstream of the core Hippo pathway kinases Lats1/2 (Wts in Drosophila) and Mst1/2 (Hpo in Drosophila), as well as the nuclear E3 ubiquitin ligase DDB1-and-Cullin 4-associated Factor 1 (DCAF1)-associated cullin 4-Roc1 ligase, CRL4(DCAF1). Merlin may also has a tumor suppressor function in melanoma cells, the inhibition of the proto-oncogenic Na(+)/H(+) exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) activity.

Ezrin/radixin/moesin, alpha-helical domain; The ERM family consists of three closely-related proteins, ezrin, radixin and moesin. Ezrin was first identified as a constituent of microvilli, radixin as a barbed, end-capping actin-modulating protein from isolated junctional fractions, and moesin as a heparin binding protein. A tumour suppressor molecule responsible for neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is highly similar to ERM proteins and has been designated merlin (moesin-ezrin-radixin-like protein). ERM molecules contain 3 domains, an N-terminal globular domain, an extended alpha-helical domain and a charged C-terminal domain (pfam00769). Ezrin, radixin and merlin also contain a polyproline linker region between the helical and C-terminal domains. The N-terminal domain is highly conserved and is also found in merlin, band 4.1 proteins and members of the band 4.1 superfamily, designated the FERM domain. ERM proteins crosslink actin filaments with plasma membranes. They co-localize with CD44 at actin filament plasma membrane interaction sites, associating with CD44 via their N-terminal domains and with actin filaments via their C-terminal domains. This is the alpha-helical domain, which is involved in intramolecular masking of protein-protein interaction sites, regulating the activity of this proteins.

F-type ATP synthase, membrane subunit b; Membrane subunit b is a component of the Fo complex of FoF1-ATP synthase. The F-type ATP synthases (FoF1-ATPase) consist of two structural domains: the F1 (assembly factor one) complex containing the soluble catalytic core, and the Fo (oligomycin sensitive factor) complex containing the membrane proton channel, linked together by a central stalk and a peripheral stalk. F1 is composed of alpha (or A), beta (B), gamma (C), delta (D) and epsilon (E) subunits with a stoichiometry of 3:3:1:1:1, while Fo consists of the three subunits a, b, and c (1:2:10-14). An oligomeric ring of 10-14 c subunits (c-ring) make up the Fo rotor. The flux of protons through the ATPase channel (Fo) drives the rotation of the c-ring, which in turn is coupled to the rotation of the F1 complex gamma subunit rotor due to the permanent binding between the gamma and epsilon subunits of F1 and the c-ring of Fo. The F-ATP synthases are primarily found in the inner membranes of eukaryotic mitochondria, in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts or in the plasma membranes of bacteria. The F-ATP synthases are the primary producers of ATP, using the proton gradient generated by oxidative phosphorylation (mitochondria) or photosynthesis (chloroplasts). Alternatively, under conditions of low driving force, ATP synthases function as ATPases, thus generating a transmembrane proton or Na(+) gradient at the expense of energy derived from ATP hydrolysis. This group also includes F-ATP synthase that has also been found in the archaea Candidatus Methanoperedens.

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.

FERM (Four.1 protein, Ezrin, Radixin, Moesin) domain, F1 sub-domain, found in merlin and similar proteins; Merlin, also termed moesin-ezrin-radixin-like protein, or neurofibromin-2 (NF2), or Schwannomerlin, or Schwannomin, is a member of the ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM) family of cytoskeletal proteins that plays an essential role in microvilli formation, T-cell activation, and tumor metastasis through providing a regulated linkage between F-actin and membrane-associated proteins. These proteins may also function in signaling cascades that regulate the assembly of actin stress fibers. The ERM proteins consist of an N-terminal FERM domain, a coiled-coil (CC) domain and a C-terminal tail segment (C-tail) containing a well-defined actin-binding motif, merlin however lacks the typical actin-binding motif in the C-tail. 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). Merlin plays vital roles in controlling proper development of organ sizes by specifically binding to a large number of target proteins localized both in cytoplasm and nuclei. Merlin may function as a tumor suppressor that functions upstream of the core Hippo pathway kinases Lats1/2 (Wts in Drosophila) and Mst1/2 (Hpo in Drosophila), as well as the nuclear E3 ubiquitin ligase DDB1-and-Cullin 4-associated Factor 1 (DCAF1)-associated cullin 4-Roc1 ligase, CRL4(DCAF1). Merlin may also has a tumor suppressor function in melanoma cells, the inhibition of the proto-oncogenic Na(+)/H(+) exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) activity.

Ezrin/radixin/moesin, alpha-helical domain; The ERM family consists of three closely-related proteins, ezrin, radixin and moesin. Ezrin was first identified as a constituent of microvilli, radixin as a barbed, end-capping actin-modulating protein from isolated junctional fractions, and moesin as a heparin binding protein. A tumour suppressor molecule responsible for neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is highly similar to ERM proteins and has been designated merlin (moesin-ezrin-radixin-like protein). ERM molecules contain 3 domains, an N-terminal globular domain, an extended alpha-helical domain and a charged C-terminal domain (pfam00769). Ezrin, radixin and merlin also contain a polyproline linker region between the helical and C-terminal domains. The N-terminal domain is highly conserved and is also found in merlin, band 4.1 proteins and members of the band 4.1 superfamily, designated the FERM domain. ERM proteins crosslink actin filaments with plasma membranes. They co-localize with CD44 at actin filament plasma membrane interaction sites, associating with CD44 via their N-terminal domains and with actin filaments via their C-terminal domains. This is the alpha-helical domain, which is involved in intramolecular masking of protein-protein interaction sites, regulating the activity of this proteins.

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). Radixin plays important roles in cell polarity, cell motility, invasion and tumor progression. It mediates the binding of F-actin to the plasma membrane after a conformational activation through Akt2-dependent phosphorylation at Thr564. It is also involved in reversal learning and short-term memory by regulating synaptic GABAA receptor density.

FERM domain C-lobe of FERM domain-containing protein 4A and 4B (FRMD4A and 4B); FRMD4A is part of the Par-3/FRMD4A/cytohesin-1 complex that activates Arf6, a central player in actin cytoskeleton dynamics and membrane trafficking, during junctional remodeling and epithelial polarization. The Par-3/Par-6/aPKC/Cdc42 complex regulates the conversion of primordial adherens junctions (AJs) into belt-like AJs and the formation of linear actin cables. When primordial AJs are formed, Par-3 recruits scaffolding protein FRMD4A which connects Par-3 and the Arf6 guanine-nucleotide exchange factor (GEF), cytohesin-1. FRMD4B (also called GRP1-binding protein, GRSP1) is a novel member of GRP1 signaling complexes that are recruited to plasma membrane ruffles in response to insulin receptor signaling. The GRSP1/FRMD4B protein contains a FERM protein domain as well as two coiled coil domains and may function as a scaffolding protein. GRP1 and GRSP1 interact through the coiled coil domains in the two proteins. 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 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.
