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. Disease Rdx deficiency causes increase in bilirubin in serum, a phenotype similar to that of Dubin-Johnson syndrome in human. Structural highlights The hydrophobic groove of the FERM domain of Rdx binds the N-terminal peptide of the adhesion molecule 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.
