摘要: Ezrin is a member of the ezrin-radixin-moesin family (ERM) adapter proteins that are localized at interface between cell membrane and cortical actin cytoskeleton, they regulate variety cellular functions. The structure representing dormant closed conformation an ERM protein has previously been determined by x-ray crystallography. Here, using contrast variation small angle neutron scattering, we reveal structural changes full-length ezrin upon binding to signaling lipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) F-actin. F-actin requires simultaneous PIP2. Once bound F-actin, opened forms more extensive contacts with than generally depicted, suggesting possible role in regulating interfacial dynamics underlying cytoskeleton. In addition, gel filtration, find conformational opening response PIP2 cooperative, but cooperativity disrupted phospho-mimic mutation S249D 4.1-ezrin/radixin/moesin (FERM) domain ezrin. Using surface plasmon resonance, show weakens affinity kinetics 4.1-ERM binding. study provides first view activated
