Multistep Phosphorylation by Oncogenic Kinases Enhances the Degradation of the NF2 Tumor Suppressor Merlin
Mutations in the Neurofibromatosis 2 gene (NF2) predispose to tumors of the nervous system, mainly schwannomas and meningiomas. The NF2 gene encodes for the tumor suppressor protein merlin (moesin-ezrin-radixin-like protein), which functions as a linker between the plasma membrane and the cytoskele...
