FERM (Four.1 protein, Ezrin, Radixin, Moesin) domain, F1 sub-domain, found in Talin and similar proteins
Talin is a cytoskeletal protein that activates integrins and couples them to cytoskeletal actin. Talin consists of an N-terminal head and a C-terminal rod. The talin head harbors a FERM (Band 4.1, ezrin, radixin, moesin) domain made up of F1, F2 and F3 domains, as well as an N-terminal region that precedes the FERM domain and has been referred to as the F0 domain. Both F0 and F1 domains have similar ubiquitin-like folds. This family corresponds to the F0 domain that is joined to the F1 domain in a novel fixed orientation by an extensive charged interface. It is required for maximal integrin-activation, by interacting with other FA components; no binding partner has yet been found for it.
Comment:2 (K6/R, K33/R Ub numbering) of the 7 lysines involved in chain linkage in ubiquitin (K6, K11, K27, K29, K33, K48, or K63, Ub numbering) are conserved in this family; may have roles other than chain linkage
