Abstract excerpt
The neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) gene was recently cloned, and the protein it encodes (merlin) was revealed to belong to a family of proteins that link cytoskeletal components with proteins in the cell membrane. To elucidate the biological function of merlin, we produced a bacterial fusion protein consisting of glutathione S-transferase and merlin and used it to detect five merlin-binding cellular proteins,...
