Disease relevance of Vil2

 

High impact information on Vil2

  • From this genomic data, we selected ezrin for further study based on its role in physically and functionally connecting the actin cytoskeleton to the cell membrane [2].
  • The membrane-cytoskeleton linker ezrin is necessary for osteosarcoma metastasis [2].
  • ICAM-2 redistributed by ezrin as a target for killer cells [5].
  • Newly discovered cryptic actin-binding sites in vinculin and ezrin, two proteins recruited to adhesion sites, suggest that actin-binding proteins are targets for the signals generated by adhesion receptors [6].
  • In vivo, blockade of ezrin leads to enhanced transplanted EC proliferation and angiogenesis in a mouse hind limb ischemia model [7].

Biological context of Vil2

 

Anatomical context of Vil2

 

Associations of Vil2 with chemical compounds

  • Subcellular analysis demonstrated ezrin in fine filopodial structures in astrocytes, while merlin was detected in neuronal synaptic junctions [16].
  • More interestingly, treatment with SB203580 induced elongation of microvilli and increased phosphorylation of ezrin (at Thr-567 and Tyr-353) [17].
  • Phosphorylation of ezrin on threonine T567 plays a crucial role during compaction in the mouse early embryo [18].
  • Alanine mutations of membrane-proximal basic amino acid residues in the cytoplasmic domain of L-selectin identified arginine 357 as a critical residue for both ezrin and moesin interaction [19].
  • Ezrin is a cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase anchoring protein [20].
 

Physical interactions of Vil2

  • Ezrin binding domain-deficient NHERF attenuates cAMP-mediated inhibition of Na(+)/H(+) exchange in OK cells [21].
  • Opossum kidney (OK) cells were transfected with either empty vector (control), full-length mouse (m) NHERF(1-355), or a truncated mNHERF(1-325) that lacked ezrin binding and had been demonstrated in fibroblasts to bind NHE3 but not mediate its cAMP-associated inhibition [21].
 

Enzymatic interactions of Vil2

  • Two isoforms of ezrin phosphorylated on tyrosine residues are present during all of preimplantation development while a third non-tyrosine-phosphorylated isoform appears at the 8-cell stage and its relative amount increases from the 8-cell stage to the blastocyst stage [22].
 

Co-localisations of Vil2

  • Phosphorylated ezrin-positive dots were colocalized with actin-positive dots on the surface of some Raf-1 transfectants treated with SB203580 [17].
 

Regulatory relationships of Vil2

 

Other interactions of Vil2

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Vil2

  • Based on Western and immunoprecipitation data for ezrin, moesin, and PDZ-dc1 we believe that it is unlikely that our phosphoprotein is any of these 3 proteins [11].
  • Similar changes were seen following microinjection of anti-p81/ezrin antibody, suggesting that N-ezrin may function as a dominant negative competitor of ezrin [26].
  • Gel filtration and chemical cross-linking studies demonstrated that ezrin exists mainly in the form of noncovalent dimers and higher order oligomers in extracts of placental microvilli [27].
  • Gene array experiments, together with protein expression analysis by immunoblotting, revealed a differential spatiotemporal distribution of several proteins associated with epithelial maturation and polarization, including intercellular junctional proteins (e.g., ZO-1, claudin-3, E-cadherin) and the subapical cytoskeletal/microvillar protein ezrin [28].
  • VECs were identified by location, morphology, ezrin staining, and electron microscopy [29].
