Introduction

The merlin-1 protein is encoded by the Neurofibromatosis-2(Nf2) gene.Neurofibromatosis type 2 is an inheritable autosomal dominant disorder. PMID:3125435 Patients develop tumors of the nervous system : meningiomas, schwannomas, neurofibromas. Mutations in the Nf2 gene lead to tumor proliferation as well in humans as in mice. Merlin-1 is a tumor suppressor protein.

ERM Proteins

Merlin and ERM proteins are members of the suprafamily 4.1 . All these proteins have a FERM domain (four-point-one ezrin, radixin, moesin).

Specificity of merlin FERM domain

Close complex en fait est la partie active Marquer les phosphorylations sur l'image Peut être marquer la comparaison chez la souris ou un autre animal Domaine très conservé avec une variabilité dans le F2 qui doit donc être impliqué dans la fonction
