[HTML][HTML] Cortical actin organization: lessons from ERM (ezrin/radixin/moesin) proteins

S Tsukita, S Yonemura - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999 - ASBMB
In recent years to clarify the molecular mechanism of dynamic organization of the cortical
actin filaments, which is important not only for the determination of cell-surface structures but
also for the functions of integral membrane proteins themselves, various types of
submembrane proteins involved in cortical actin filament/plasma membrane interaction have
been intensively studied. In this minireview, we focus on ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM) 1
proteins, which are general cross-linkers between cortical actin filaments and plasma …
