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.

Cytohesin Ubiquitin Protein Inducing Domain; C1ORF106 also known as INAVA (Innate Immune Activator), is identified as a risk factor for the chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Mice lacking the protein show defects in intestinal barrier integrity at steady state and greater susceptibility to mucosal infection. INAVA carries CUPID (Cytohesin Ubiquitin Protein Inducing Domain). Three other human proteins contain CUPID: FRMD4A, FRMD4B, and CCDC120- proteins implicated in neurite outgrowth, and in human cancer, Alzheimer's, celiac, and heart disease. All appear to bind the ARF-GEF (guanine nucleotide-exchange factors) cytohesin family members, such as proteins (ARF 1-4), which regulate cell membrane and F-actin dynamics. INAVA-CUPID binds cytohesin 2 (also known as ARNO), targets the molecule to lateral membranes of epithelial monolayers, and enables ARNO to affect F-actin assembly that underlies cell-cell junctions and barrier function. In the case of inflammatory signalling, ARNO can coordinate CUPID function by binding and inhibiting CUPID activity of acting as an enhancer of TRAF6 dependent polyubiquitination. In other words, ARNO acts as a negative-regulator of inflammatory responses. In summary, INAVA-CUPID exhibits dual functions, coordinated directly by ARNO, that bridge epithelial barrier function with extracellular signals and inflammation.

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 the ERM family proteins; The ezrin-radixin-moesin (ERM) family includes a group of closely related cytoskeletal proteins that play 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. They 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 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, which is highly related to the members of the ezrin, radixin, and moesin (ERM) protein family that are directly attached to and functionally linked with NHE1, is included in this 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.

FERM domain C-lobe; 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.

FERM (Four.1 protein, Ezrin, Radixin, Moesin) domain, F1 sub-domain, found in the ERM family proteins, Ezrin, Radixin, and Moesin; The ezrin-radixin-moesin (ERM) family includes a group of closely related 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. They 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 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 radixin and similar proteins; Radixin 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 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 Protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor proteins 14 and 21 (PTPN14 and 21); This CD contains PTP members: pez/PTPN14 and PTPN21. A number of mutations in Pez have been shown to be associated with breast and colorectal cancer. The PTPN protein family belong to larger family of PTPs. PTPs are known to be signaling molecules that regulate a variety of cellular processes including cell growth, differentiation, mitotic cycle, and oncogenic transformation. The members are composed of a N-terminal FERM domain and a C-terminal PTP catalytic 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. Like most other ERM members they have a phosphoinositide-binding site in their FERM domain. 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.

FERM (Four.1 protein, Ezrin, Radixin, Moesin) domain, F1 sub-domain, found in erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.1-like 5 (EPB41L5); EPB41L5 is a mesenchymal-specific protein that is an integral component of the ARF6-based pathway. It is normally induced during epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by an EMT-related transcriptional factor, ZEB1, which drives ARF6-based invasion, metastasis and drug resistance. EPB41L5 also binds to paxillin to enhance integrin/paxillin association, and thus promotes focal adhesion dynamics. Moreover, EPB41L5 acts as a substrate for the E3 ubiquitin ligase Mind bomb 1 (Mib1), which is essential for activation of Notch signaling. EPB41L5 is a member of the band 4.1/Nbl4 (novel band 4.1-like protein 4) group of the FERM protein superfamily. It 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 tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 14 (PTPN14) and similar proteins; PTPN14, also termed protein-tyrosine phosphatase pez, or PTPD2, or PTP36, is a widely expressed non-transmembrane cytosolic protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP). It 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). PTPN14 plays a role in the nucleus during cell proliferation. It forms a complex with Kibra and LATS1 proteins and negatively regulates the key Hippo pathway protein Yes-associated protein (YAP) oncogenic function by controlling its localization. It specifically regulates p130 Crk-associated substrate (p130Cas) phosphorylation at tyrosine residue 128 (Y128) in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. Moreover, PTPN14 may be a critical enzyme in regulating endothelial cell function. It plays a crucial role in organogenesis by inducing transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). It also acts as a modifier of angiogenesis and hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia. It regulates the lymphatic function and choanal development through the interaction with the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3), a receptor tyrosine kinase essential for lymphangiogenesis. Furthermore, PTPN14 functions as a regulator of cell motility through its action on cell-cell adhesion. Beta-Catenin, a central component of adherens junctions, has been identified as a PTPN14 substrate. PTPN14 works as a novel sperm-motility biomarker and a potential mitochondrial protein.

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.
