Current models imply that the FERM domain protein Merlin, encoded by the tumor suppressor NF2, inhibits mitogenic signaling at or near the plasma membrane. Here, we show that the closed, growth inhibitory form of Merlin accumulates in the nucleus, binds to the E3 ubiquitin ligase CRL4DCAF1, and supp...

We have found a broad case of tumour suppressor hypersensitivity for Merlin in cancer: Merlin expression in Merlin deficient cells (but not Merlin wild type cells) strongly suppresses proliferation regardless of tumour type or of additional somatic mutations. To study how Merlin selectively induced ...

To identify proteins interacting with Merlin in response to calcium signaling, Flag-tagged Merlin was stably transduced into LN229 cells. These cells and empty vector-transduced LN229 cells were treated with DMSO or thapsigargin for 15 minutes and subjected to immunoprecipitation followed by Mass Sp...

To identify the ubiquitination sites on Merlin, Flag-tagged wild-type Merlin or the S518D mutant were stably transduced into LN229 cells. These cells were treated with thapsigargin for 15 minutes and subjected to immunoprecipitation and followed by Mass Spectrometry.

Meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial tumors and are associated with inactivation of the tumor suppressor NF2/Merlin, but one-third of meningiomas retain Merlin expression and typically have favorable clinical outcomes. Biochemical mechanisms underlying Merlin-intact meningioma growth...

Neurofibromatosis type 2 is an inherited neoplastic disease consisting of schwannomas, meningiomas, and ependymomas that is caused by inactivation of the tumor suppressor gene NF2. The NF2 gene product, merlin, has no intrinsic catalytic activity; its tumor suppressor function is mediated through t...

Merlin rescue drives Wnt signalling
Merlin has been implicated in contact-dependent inhibition of proliferation To define genes regulated by Merlin and study their relationship to cell density-dependent gene expression, microarray experiments were performed after Merlin depletion in HMLE cells at both high and low cell densities. HMLE...

To investigate the effect of Merlin rescue on cell proliferation in 3D, we grew subcutaneous xenografts from NF2-deficient CH-157MN meningioma cells harboring doxycycline inducible WT-Merlin. Mice were treated with or without doxycycline and Merlin induction was confirmed 24 hours after induction wi...
