J Cell Biol 1998, 141:143-153. This paper represents the first report of the extensive characterization of a 4.1R-like protein. Interestingly, it suggests that 4.1 proteins may interact with immunophilins, proteins that have been involved in protein folding and sorting.

This paper extensively characterizes 4.1N, a novel member of the protein 4.1 family. This new 4.1R-like protein plays a major role in neurobiology because it is involved in organization of synaptic vesicles, an unusual intracellular localization for a 4.1 protein.

Curr Biol 1998, 8:1269-1272. This paper reports an unexpected neurobehavioral phenotype in 4.1R-null mice. These exciting data clearly show that the physiologic alterations observed in such mice fit well with those predicted from the preferential expression of 4.1R mRNA throughout the body.

J Biol Chem 1998, 273:1273-1276. This elegant study is a first step toward understanding the cross-talk between the cytoskeleton and integral proteins. In other words, cytoskeletal proteins, such as ERM proteins, not only bridge ion channels and the spectrin-based cytoskeleton but also are responsible for the recruitment of molecules involved in regulation of the function of ion channels.

J Biol Chem 1998, 273:13681-13692. This interesting study presents new evidence for the involvement of the spectrin-based cytoskeleton in the control of transduction pathways. This may represent one of the mechanisms by which the cytoskeleton controls cell growth and cell proliferation, given the importance of tyrosine phosphorylation in physiologic as well as pathologic events.

J Cell Biol 1998, 143:1305-1315. This outstanding study characterizes in great detail the neural phenotype of AnkB-null mice. The authors explain the postnatal lethal phenotype of this gene knockout by establishing the critical role of ankyrin B in maturation of premyelinated neurons. This study validates the use of gene knockout in characterizing the functions of a targeted member of a large and complex protein family such as the ankyrin family.

46. 46 LaJeunesse DR, McCartney BM, Fehon RG: Structural analysis of Drosophila merlin reveals functional domains important for growth control and subcellular localization. J Cell Biol 1998, 141:1589-1599. The authors show that the membrane-binding domain of the cytoskeletal protein merlin not only anchors the protein to the plasma membrane but also is involved in regulation of cell proliferation. This elegant study suggests that cytoskeletal proteins fulfill other functions than providing mechanical support to the plasma membrane and that the membrane-binding domain of members of the protein 4.1 superfamily, such as ERM proteins, is a multifunctional domain.

This interesting study characterizes a novel protein that combines the features of the cytoskeletal protein ankyrin and those of an ion channel. Interestingly, this protein is no longer expressed in transformed cells. This study shows clearly the relationship that exists between alterations of the cytoskeleton and pathologies such as cancer.

J Cell Biol 1999, 145:29-43. This study characterizes the interaction of the cytoskeletal protein 4.1R with the NuMA protein.

This study represents the first report of a function for nuclear protein 4.1R. Thus, besides its role in organization of a putative nuclear matrix, protein 4.1R anchors splicing factors and, by doing so, potentially regulates transcription activity within the cell.
