Ermin This is a cytoskeletal protein exclusively expressed in oligodendrocytes that plays a role in cytoskeletal rearrangements during the late wrapping and/or compaction phases of myelinogenesis and in maintenance and stability of myelin sheath in the adult. It may also play an important role in late-stage oligodendroglia maturation, myelin/Ranvier node formation during CNS development, and in the maintenance and plasticity of related structures in the mature CNS. Ermin associates with the myosin phosphatase Rho interacting protein protein (Mprip/p116RIP) and inactivates RhoA, a GTPase that controls cytoskeletal rearrangement in differentiating cells, thus contributing to oligodendrocyte morphogenesis. It has a C-terminal actin-binding domain similar to those of members of the ERM family but lacks the conserved N-terminal FERM domain. |
