FERM domain C-lobe of Protein 4.1 family; The protein 4.1 family includes four well-defined members: erythroid protein 4.1 (4.1R), the best known and characterized member, 4.1G (general), 4.1N (neuronal), and 4.1 B (brain). The less well understood 4.1O/FRMD3 is not a true member of this family and is not included in this hierarchy. Besides three highly conserved domains, FERM, SAB (spectrin and actin binding domain) and CTD (C-terminal domain), the proteins from this family contain several unique domains: U1, U2 and U3. FERM domains like other members of the FERM domain superfamily have a cloverleaf architecture with three distinct lobes: (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 brain is a particularly rich source of protein 4.1 isoforms. The various 4.1R, 4.1G, 4.1N, and 4.1B mRNAs are all expressed in distinct patterns within the brain. It is likely that 4.1 proteins play important functional roles in the brain including motor coordination and spatial learning, postmitotic differentiation, and synaptic architecture and function. In addition they are found in nonerythroid, nonneuronal cells where they may play a general structural role in nuclear architecture and/or may interact with splicing factors. The FERM C domain is the third structural domain within the FERM domain. 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.

4.1 protein C-terminal domain (CTD); At the C-terminus of all known 4.1 proteins is a sequence domain unique to these proteins, known as the C-terminal domain (CTD). Mammalian CTDs are associated with a growing number of protein-protein interactions, although such activities have yet to be associated with invertebrate CTDs. Mammalian CTDs are generally defined by sequence alignment as encoded by exons 18-21. Comparison of known vertebrate 4.1 proteins with invertebrate 4.1 proteins indicates that mammalian 4.1 exon 19 represents a vertebrate adaptation that extends the sequence of the CTD with a Ser/Thr-rich sequence. The CTD was first described as a 22/24-kDa domain by chymotryptic digestion of erythrocyte 4.1 (4.1R). CTD is thought to represent an independent folding structure which has gained function since the divergence of vertebrates from invertebrates.

FERM domain B-lobe; The FERM domain has a cloverleaf tripart structure (FERM_N, FERM_M, FERM_C/N, alpha-, and C-lobe/A-lobe, B-lobe, C-lobe/F1, F2, F3). 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, the tyrosine kinases FAK and JAK, in addition to other proteins involved in signaling. This domain is structurally similar to the pleckstrin homology (PH) and phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domains and consequently is capable of binding to both peptides and phospholipids at different sites.

FARP1, also termed chondrocyte-derived ezrin-like protein (CDEP), or pleckstrin homology (PH) domain-containing family C member 2 (PLEKHC2), is a neuronal activator of the RhoA GTPase. It promotes outgrowth of developing motor neuron dendrites. It also regulates excitatory synapse formation and morphology, as well as activates the GTPase Rac1 to promote F-actin assembly. FARP2, also termed FERM domain including RhoGEF (FIR), or Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain-containing family C member 3, is a Dbl-family guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that activates Rac1 or Cdc42 in response to upstream signals, suggesting roles in regulating processes such as neuronal axon guidance and bone homeostasis. It is also a key molecule involved in the response of neuronal growth cones to class-3 semaphorins. FRMD7 plays an important role in neuronal development and is involved in the regulation of F-actin, neurofilament, and microtubule dynamics. All family members contain a FERM domain that is made up of three sub-domains, F1, F2, and F3. This family corresponds to F1 sub-domain, which is also called the N-terminal ubiquitin-like structural domain of the FERM domain (FERM_N).

FERM domain C-lobe of E3 ubiquitin ligase myosin regulatory light chain-interacting protein (MYLIP; also called inducible degrader of the LDL receptor, IDOL); MYLIP/IDOL is a regulator of the LDL receptor (LDLR) pathway via the nuclear receptor liver X receptor (LXR). In response to cellular cholesterol loading, the activation of LXR leads to the induction of MYLIP expression. MYLIP stimulates ubiquitination of the LDLR on its cytoplasmic tail, directing its degradation. The LXR-MYLIP-LDLR pathway provides a complementary pathway to sterol regulatory element-binding proteins for the feedback inhibition of cholesterol uptake. MYLIP has an N-terminal FERM domain and in some cases a C-terminal RING domain. 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.

FERM (Four.1 protein, Ezrin, Radixin, Moesin) domain, F1 sub-domain, found in E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase MYLIP and similar proteins; MYLIP, also termed inducible degrader of the LDL-receptor (Idol), or myosin regulatory light chain interacting protein (MIR), is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that mediates ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of myosin regulatory light chain (MRLC), LDLR, VLDLR and LRP8. Its activity depends on E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes of the UBE2D family, including UBE2D1, UBE2D2, UBE2D3, and UBE2D4. MYLIP stimulates clathrin-independent endocytosis and acts as a sterol-dependent inhibitor of cellular cholesterol uptake by binding directly to the cytoplasmic tail of the LDLR and promoting its ubiquitination via the UBE2D1/E1 complex. The ubiquitinated LDLR then enters the multivesicular body (MVB) protein-sorting pathway and is shuttled to the lysosome for degradation. Moreover, MYLIP has been identified as a novel ERM-like protein that affects cytoskeleton interactions regulating cell motility, such as neurite outgrowth. The ERM proteins includes ezrin, radixin, and moesin, which are cytoskeletal effector proteins linking actin to membrane-bound proteins at the cell surface. MYLIP contains a FERM-domain and a C-terminal C3HC4-type RING-HC finger. 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).

FERM (Four.1 protein, Ezrin, Radixin, Moesin) domain, F1 sub-domain, found in tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 21 (PTPN21) and similar proteins; PTPN21, also termed protein-tyrosine phosphatase D1 (PTPD1), is a cytosolic non-receptor protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) that belongs to the FERM family of PTPs characterized by a conserved N-terminal FERM domain and a C-terminal PTP catalytic domain with an intervening sequence containing an acidic region and a putative SH3 domain-binding sequence. 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). PTPN21 interacts with a Tec tyrosine kinase family member, the epithelial and endothelial tyrosine kinase (Etk, also known as Bmx), modulates Stat3 activation, and plays a role in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. It also associates with and activates Src tyrosine kinase, and directs epidermal growth factor (EGF)/Src signaling to the nucleus through activating ERK1/2- and Elk1-dependent gene transcription. PTPD1-Src complex interacts a protein kinase A-anchoring protein AKAP121 to forms a PTPD1-Src-AKAP121 complex, which is required for efficient maintenance of mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP oxidative synthesis. As a novel component of the endocytic pathway, PTPN21 supports EGF receptor stability and mitogenic signaling in bladder cancer cells. Moreover, PTPD1 regulates focal adhesion kinase (FAK) autophosphorylation and cell migration through modulating Src-FAK signaling at adhesion sites.

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 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). 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.

FERM (Four.1 protein, Ezrin, Radixin, Moesin) domain, F1 sub-domain, found in FERM domain-containing protein 4A (FRMD4A); FRMD4A is a cytohesin adaptor involved in cell structure, transport and signaling. It promotes the growth of cancer cells in tongue, head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. It also regulates tau secretion by activating cytohesin-Arf6 signaling through connecting cytohesin family Arf6-specific guanine-nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) and Par-3 at primordial adherens junctions during epithelial polarization. As a genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD), FRMD4A may play a role in amyloidogenic and tau-related pathways in AD. FRMD4A 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).

FERM (Four.1 protein, Ezrin, Radixin, Moesin) domain, F1 sub-domain, found in moesin and similar proteins; Moesin, also termed membrane-organizing extension spike protein, 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. The C-terminal domain can fold back to bind to the FERM domain forming an autoinhibited conformation. The FERM domain is made up of three sub-domains, F1, F2, and F3. This family corresponds to F1 sub-domain, which is also called the N-terminal ubiquitin-like structural domain of the FERM domain (FERM_N). Moesin is involved in mitotic spindle function through stabilizing cell shape and microtubules at the cell cortex. It is required for the formation of F-actin networks that mediate endosome biogenesis or maturation and transport through the degradative pathway.

FERM (Four.1 protein, Ezrin, Radixin, Moesin) domain, F1 sub-domain, found in FERM and PDZ domain-containing protein 2 (FRMPD2); FRMPD2, also termed PDZ domain-containing protein 4 (PDZK4), or PDZ domain-containing protein 5C (PDZD5C), is a potential scaffold protein involved in basolateral membrane targeting in epithelial cells. It interacts with nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-2 (NOD2) through leucine-rich repeats and forms a complex with the membrane-associated protein ERBB2IP. FRMPD2 contains an N-terminal KIND domain, a FERM domain and three PDZ domains. 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).
