Abstract
The Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor (NHERF) is a key adaptor protein involved in the anchoring of ion channels and receptors to the actin cytoskeleton through binding to ERM (ezrin/radixin/moesin) proteins. NHERF binds the FERM domain of ERM proteins, although NHERF has no signature Motif-1 sequence for FERM binding found in adhesion molecules. The crystal structures of the radixin FERM domain complexed with the NHERF-1 and NHERF-2 C-terminal peptides revealed a peptide binding site of the FERM domain specific for the 13 residue motif MDWxxxxx(L/I)Fxx(L/F) (Motif-2), which is distinct from Motif-1. This Motif-2 forms an amphipathic alpha helix for hydrophobic docking to subdomain C of the FERM domain. This docking causes induced-fit conformational changes in subdomain C and affects binding to adhesion molecule peptides, while the two binding sites are not overlapped. Our studies provide structural paradigms for versatile ERM linkages between membrane proteins and the cytoskeleton.

Figure 2. The FERM-NHERF Interactions
(A) Front (left) and side (right) views of surface electrostatic potentials of the radixin FERM domain. The front view is viewed from the same direction as in Figure 1A. Positive (blue, +14 kT/e) and negative (red, −14 kT/e) potentials are mapped on the van der Waals surfaces. The four crystallographic-independent NHERF-1 peptides are shown in tube models (cyan). A side view of the FERM domain is shown without the NHERF-1 peptide to show two hydrophobic pockets for the Trp348 and Phe355 side chains from the NHERF peptide.
(B) A close-up view of the amphipathic helix of the NHERF-1 peptide (cyan) docked to the groove formed by the β sandwich of subdomain C (yellow). Hydrogen bonds are shown with dotted lines. The C-terminal carboxyl group of Leu358 is labeled with CPX.
(C) Schematic diagram of the interaction between the NHERF-1 peptide (residues 339–358, cyan main chain bonds) and the FERM domain (brown main chain bonds) with atom colors: black, C; blue, N; red, O; yellow, S. Polar contacts are shown with red, dashed lines, and hydrophobic contacts are indicated by arcs with radiating spokes. A list of all residues involved in binding either peptide together with their distances is given in Table S2.
(D) A close-up view of the superimposed C-terminal region of NHERF-1 (blue) and NHERF-2 (yellow) peptides bound to the FERM domains. Leu354 and the C-terminal end residue of NHERF-1, Leu358, are replaced with Ile333 and Phe337 in NHERF-2, respectively. These residues interact with residues from the FERM domains drawn in cyan (NHERF-1 bound form) and gray (NHERF-2 bound form).

(E) Comparison of the IP3-binding sites found in the radixin FERM domain (left), the phospholipase C 1 PH domain (middle) and the -spectrin PH domain (right). Two loops forming the binding site of each PH domain are colored in blue. The binding site of the radixin FERM domain is located at the basic cleft between subdomains A (a ubiquitin-like fold in light green) and C (a PTB-like fold in light blue) (see text). The N-terminal half of helix 1C of subdomain C and the protruding loop between strands 3A and 5A of subdomain A form the IP3-binding site of the radixin FERM domain and are colored in blue.
