Radixin

Function

Radixin (Rdx) plays an important role in promoting cell migration by regulating Rac-1-mediated epithelial polarity and formation of adherens junctions through Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factors^[1]. Rdx is part of the ERM (Ezrin/Radixin/Moesin) which is linked to cell shape change. Phosphorylation of the C-terminal Thr residues of ERM inhibits cell adhesion and induces formation of spherical cell shape^[2].

Disease

Rdx deficiency causes increase in bilirubin in serum, a phenotype similar to that of Dubin-Johnson syndrome in human^[3].

Structural highlights

The hydrophobic groove of the FERM domain of Rdx binds the N-terminal peptide of the adhesion molecule P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 with multiple hydrogen bonds^[4]. Hydrophobic, Polar
