Local phosphocycling mediated by LOK/SLK restricts ezrin function to the apical aspect of epithelial cells
In this paper, we describe how a dynamic regulatory process is necessary to restrict microvilli to the apical aspect of polarized epithelial cells. We found that local phosphocycling regulation of ezrin, a critical plasma membrane-cytoskeletal linker of microvilli, was required to restrict its function to the apical membrane. Proteomic approaches and ribonucleic acid interference knockdown iden...
متن کاملAtypical protein kinase C (iota) activates ezrin in the apical domain of intestinal epithelial cells.
Atypical protein kinase iota (PKCiota) is a key organizer of the apical domain in epithelial cells. Ezrin is a cytosolic protein that, upon activation by phosphorylation of T567, is localized under the apical membrane where it connects actin filaments to membrane proteins and recruits protein kinase A (PKA). To identify the kinase that phosphorylates ezrin T567 in simple epithelia, we analyzed ...
متن کاملFoxj1 is required for apical localization of ezrin in airway epithelial cells.
Establishment and maintenance of epithelial cell polarity depend on cytoskeletal organization and protein trafficking to polarized cortical membranes. ERM (ezrin, radixin, moesin) family members link polarized proteins with cytoskeletal actin. Although ERMs are often considered to be functionally similar, we found that, in airway epithelial cells, apical localization of ERMs depend on cell diff...
متن کاملEzrin-mediated apical integrity is required for intestinal homeostasis.
Individual cell types are defined by architecturally and functionally specialized cortical domains. The Ezrin, Radixin, and Moesin (ERM) proteins play a major role in organizing cortical domains by assembling membrane protein complexes and linking them to the cortical actin cytoskeleton. Many studies have focused on the individual roles of the ERM proteins in stabilizing the membrane-cytoskelet...
