FERM domain B-lobe The FERM domain has a cloverleaf tripart structure (FERM_N, FERM_M, FERM_C/N, alpha-, and C-lobe/A-lobe, B-lobe, C-lobe/F1, F2, F3). The FERM domain is found in the cytoskeletal-associated proteins such as ezrin, moesin, radixin, 4.1R, and merlin. These proteins provide a link between the membrane and cytoskeleton and are involved in signal transduction pathways. The FERM domain is also found in protein tyrosine phosphatases, the tyrosine kinases FAK and JAK, in addition to other proteins involved in signaling. This domain is structurally similar to the pleckstrin homology (PH) and phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domains and consequently is capable of binding to both peptides and phospholipids at different sites.
