The closed complex of the Merlin proteins corresponds to the tumor suppressor-active form. As the N-terminus FERM domain and C-terminus are maintained associated, Merlin is in a closed conformation and is able to promote nuclear translocation and inhibt growth<ref>PMID:22482125</ref>. | The closed complex of the Merlin proteins corresponds to the tumor suppressor-active form.

More precisly,binding of the tail provokes dimerization and unfurling of the F2 motif of the FERM domain.The “closed” complex of merlin-1 is in fact an “open” dimer <ref name="utile" />. | More precisly,binding of the tail provokes dimerization and unfurling of the F2 motif of the FERM domain.The “closed” complex of merlin-1 is in fact an “open” dimer <ref name="utile" />. | ||

Merlin possess a serine 10 that can be phosphorylated by Akt. This phosphorylation directs merlin for proteasome-mediated degradation.<ref>PMID:21750658</ref>. | Merlin possess a serine 10 that can be phosphorylated by Akt.

CD44 is a cell-surface receptor for hyaluronan (HA a ligand). When HA binds to CD44 the complex promotes tumorigenesis it means it promotes tumor invasion and metastasis.<ref>PMID:11316791</ref> . | |||

Phosphorylation at Ser518 of merlin inactivates its growth inhibitive activity. As we explained this phosphorylation can be achieved by cyclic AMP-dependent protein PKA and PAK1. | Phosphorylation at Ser518 of merlin inactivates its growth inhibitive activity.

However there exist many protein that regulates merlin expression. They may be a useful therapetic target.Therefore scientist need to further inverstigate to determine the pathways that involve the merlin protein. | However there exist many protein that regulates merlin expression.
