Introduction

The merlin-1 protein is encoded by the Neurofibromatosis-2(Nf2) gene. Neurofibromatosis type 2 is an inheritable autosomal dominant disorder. Patients develop tumors of the nervous system : meningiomas, schwannomas, neurofibromas.[1] Mutations in the Nf2 gene lead to tumor proliferation as well in humans as in mice. Therefore Merlin-1 is a tumor suppressor protein.

ERM Proteins

The merlin-1 protein belongs to the band 4.1 superfamily of membrane-cytoskeletal linkers.[2]. Within this superfamily merlin-1 is closer to ezrin,radixin and moesin (the ERM proteins). All these proteins have an about 300-residue globular FERM domain(four-point-one ezrin, radixin, moesin). This FERM domain is a highly conserved domain. This domain is divided into three subdomains (F1, F2, and F3). Je pensais mettre à la fin de cette partie une phrase du genre pour faire une transition avec la partie d'après non?: The architecture of merlin is similar to that of ERM proteins, they also have a FERM domain and a central α-helical rod, execpt they lack a C-terminal actin-binding site.

CD44

CD44 is a cell-surface receptor for hyaluronan (HA a ligand). CD44 promotes tumorigenesis. It means when HA binds to this protein, the complex promotes tumor invasion and metastasis.
