Abstract

Background: Merlin controls organ size by binding to target proteins both in cytoplasm and nucleus. Results: The structure of Merlin FERM domain in complex with its binding domain of DCAF1 is determined. Conclusion: DCAF1 folds into a β -hairpin structure and binds to the F3 lobe of Merlin FERM domain. Significance: The structure of the Merlin · DCAF1 complex provides a template for understanding the interactions of Merlin with its binding partners.
