Regulation of ezrin by other proteins.

ProteinsBiological effectsReferences

Intracellular adhesion molecules-1 (ICAM-1)
Intracellular adhesion molecules-1 (ICAM-2)
PIP2 binds to cytoplasmic tails of ICAM-1, -2, forming ezrin-multiprotein-complexes[81]
CD44The cytoplasmic tail of CD44 forms a complex with FERM or with the full-length ezrin[82]
CD43Regulates T-cell trafficking through Ser76 within its cytoplasmic tail[83]
E-cadherinActivate GTPase Rac1[84]
Na+/H+ exchanger 1 (NHE1)Activate and target ezrin to specific plasma membrane domains, regulate cell survival[85, 86]
exchanger regulatory factor (NHERF1)/ERM-binding phosphoprotein 50 (EBP50)
NHE3 kinase (E3KARP)/NHERF2
Anchor to the plasma membrane using postsynaptic density proteins[23, 87]
Protein kinase A (PKA)
Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)
PKA associates with CFTR via interaction with ezrin[88]
