Riepilogo UniProt
Ezrin-radixin-moesin (ERM) family protein that connects the actin cytoskeleton to the plasma membrane and thereby regulates the structure and function of specific domains of the cell cortex. Tethers actin filaments by oscillating between a resting and an activated state providing transient interactions between moesin and the actin cytoskeleton (PubMed:10212266). Once phosphorylated on its C-terminal threonine, moesin is activated leading to interaction with F-actin and cytoskeletal rearrangement (PubMed:10212266). These rearrangements regulate many cellular processes, including cell shape determination, membrane transport, and signal transduction (PubMed:12387735, PubMed:15039356). The role of moesin is particularly important in immunity acting on both T and B-cells homeostasis and self-tolerance, regulating lymphocyte egress from lymphoid organs (PubMed:9298994, PubMed:9616160). Modulates phagolysosomal biogenesis in macrophages (By similarity). Participates also in immunologic synapse formation (PubMed:27405666).
Sommario di Entrez
Moesin (for membrane-organizing extension spike protein) is a member of the ERM family which includes ezrin and radixin. ERM proteins appear to function as cross-linkers between plasma membranes and actin-based cytoskeletons. Moesin is localized to filopodia and other membranous protrusions that are important for cell-cell recognition and signaling and for cell movement.
Specificità del tessuto
In all tissues and cultured cells studied.
Coinvolgimento nella malattia
Immunodeficiency 50: A primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by onset of recurrent bacterial or varicella zoster virus infections in early childhood, profound lymphopenia, hypogammaglobulinemia, fluctuating monocytopenia and neutropenia, and a poor immune response to vaccine antigens.
Modifica post-translazionale
Phosphorylation on Thr-558 is crucial for the formation of microvilli-like structures. Phosphorylation by ROCK2 suppresses the head-to-tail association of the N-terminal and C-terminal halves resulting in an opened conformation which is capable of actin and membrane-binding (By similarity). Phosphorylation on Thr-558 by STK10 negatively regulates lymphocyte migration and polarization.
Posizione cellulare
Cell membrane. Cytoplasm > Cytoskeleton. Apical cell membrane. Cell projection > Microvillus membrane. Cell projection > Microvillus.
Phosphorylated form is enriched in microvilli-like structures at apical membrane. Increased cell membrane localization of both phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated forms seen after thrombin treatment (By similarity). Localizes at the uropods of T lymphoblasts.
