The acitivity of ERM proteins is caused by the association of different regions within the protein.
The acitivity of ERM proteins is caused by the association of different regions within the protein.
The ERM proteins are regulated by changing from a closed conformation to an open, active state. This is due to intramolecular head–tail interactions,and also to interactions between their head and α-helical domains.

On en parle ici de tout ce qui sera activation? : For instance Ser-10 and Ser-518 phosphorylation by PKA and/or PAK, PIP2 binding and phosphorylation of conserved threonine residues in the ERM C-terminal actin-binding site necessary for their localization to AJs ( ce que je vois pas du coup c'est comme merlin n'a pas ce domaine comment il est ammené vers sa cible? )

The overall architecture of merlin is similar to that of ERM proteins. Indeed they have almost the same organization : a FERM domain,a central α-helical rod, but lack a C-terminal actin-binding site<ref>PMID:22012890</ref>.

===CD44===
===CD44===
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. Indeed, CD44 is a receptor presents in the TA3 carcinome mammaire cells and Tr6BC1 schwannoma cells and HA allows their growth.
