The Na/H exchange regulatory cofactor 1 (NHERF1) protein modulates the assembly and intracellular trafficking of several transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and ion transport proteins with the membrane-cytoskeleton adapter protein ezrin. Here, we applied solution NMR and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) to structurally characterize full-length NHERF1 and disease-associated variants that are implicated in impaired phosphate homeostasis. Using NMR, we mapped the modular architecture of NHERF1, which is composed of two structurally-independent PDZ domains that are connected by a flexible, disordered linker.

NHERF1 is an adaptor protein expressed in the apical membrane of polarized epithelia, which interacts with the EZRIN-Radixin-Moesin (ERM) family of proteins connecting signaling pathways to the cell cytoskeleton. NHERF1 and EZRIN cooperate in the maintenance of the apical microvilli in polarized epithelial cells. In several types of cancers, NHERF1 and EZRIN are displaced from the apical compartment to the cytoplasm and nuclei of cancer cells.

Background: Podocyte foot process effacement accompanied by actin cytoskeleton rearrangements is a cardinal feature of many progressive human proteinuric diseases.
Results: By microarray profiling of mouse glomerulus, SCHIP1 emerged as one of the most highly enriched transcripts. We detected Schip1 protein in the kidney glomerulus, specifically in podocytes foot processes.
Large-scale domain dynamics in proteins are found when flexible linkers or hinges connect domains. The related conformational changes are often related to the function of the protein,for example by arranging the active center after substrate binding or allowing transport and release of products. The adaptation of a specific active structure is referred to as ‘induced fit’ and is challenged by models such as ‘conformational sampling’.
