| Post Translational Modifications | 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. Phosphorylation on Thr-558 by STK10 negatively regulates lymphocyte migration and polarization. S-nitrosylation of Cys-117 is induced by interferon-gamma and oxidatively-modified low-densitity lipoprotein (LDL(ox)) implicating the iNOS-S100A8/9 transnitrosylase complex. |
| Function | 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. Once phosphorylated on its C-terminal threonine, moesin is activated leading to interaction with F-actin and cytoskeletal rearrangement. These rearrangements regulate many cellular processes, including cell shape determination, membrane transport, and signal transduction. 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. Modulates phagolysosomal biogenesis in macrophages. Participates also in immunologic synapse formation. |
