Members of the ezrin–radixin–moesin (ERM) family of proteins are involved in multiple
aspects of cell migration by acting both as crosslinkers between the membrane, receptors …

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 …

Metastatic cancers, once established, are the primary cause of mortality associated with
cancer. Previously, we used a genomic approach to identify metastasis-associated genes in …

The association of actin filaments with the plasma membrane maintains cell shape and
adhesion. Here, we show that the plasma membrane ion exchanger NHE1 acts as an …

Cells have various surface architectures, which allow them to carry out different specialized
functions. Actin microfilaments that are associated with the plasma membrane are important …

CD44 is a cell adhesion molecule that was traditionally known as 'homing receptor'. This
molecule is known to interact with the ezrin family (ERM family) members and form a …

A role for the membrane/cytoskeleton interface in the development and progression of
cancer is established, yet poorly understood. The neurofibromatosis type II (NF2) tumor …

ERM (ezrin/radixin/moesin) proteins, concentrated in actin rich cell‐surface structures, cross‐
link actin filaments with the plasma membrane. They are involved in the formation of …

Research during the past couple of years has provided important new information as to how
the actin cytoskeleton contributes to growth control in both normal and transformed cells …

ERM (Ezrin–Radixin–Moesin) proteins function as plasma membrane–actin cytoskeleton
linkers and participate in the formation of specialized domains of the plasma membrane. We …
