Summary
NF2 (NF2, moesin-ezrin-radixin like (MERLIN) tumor suppressor, HGNC:7773) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 22q12.2, encoding Merlin (P35240). Probable regulator of the Hippo/SWH (Sav/Wts/Hpo) signaling pathway, a signaling pathway that plays a pivotal role in tumor suppression by restricting proliferation and promoting apoptosis. In precision oncology, NF2 K159fs confers sensitivity to Temsirolimus in Breast Cancer (CIViC Level C); 2 further curated variant–drug associations are listed below. It is haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).
This gene encodes a protein that is similar to some members of the ERM (ezrin, radixin, moesin) family of proteins that link cytoskeletal components with proteins in the cell membrane. The encoded protein is involved in regulation of contact-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation and functions in cell-cell adhesion and transmembrane signaling. The encoded protein has been shown to interact with cell-surface proteins, proteins involved in cytoskeletal dynamics, and proteins involved in regulating ion transport. Disruption of this protein’s function has been implicated in tumorigenesis and metastasis. Mutations in this gene are associated with neurofibromatosis type II which is characterized by nervous system and skin tumors and ocular abnormalities.

Function. Probable regulator of the Hippo/SWH (Sav/Wts/Hpo) signaling pathway, a signaling pathway that plays a pivotal role in tumor suppression by restricting proliferation and promoting apoptosis. Along with WWC1 can synergistically induce the phosphorylation of LATS1 and LATS2 and can probably function in the regulation of the Hippo/SWH (Sav/Wts/Hpo) signaling pathway. May act as a membrane stabilizing protein. May inhibit PI3 kinase by binding to AGAP2 and impairing its stimulating activity. Suppresses cell proliferation and tumorigenesis by inhibiting the CUL4A-RBX1-DDB1-VprBP/DCAF1 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with NHERF1, HGS and AGAP2. Interacts with LAYN. Interacts with SGSM3. Interacts (via FERM domain) with MPP1. Interacts with WWC1. Interacts with the CUL4A-RBX1-DDB1-VprBP/DCAF1 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex. The unphosphorylated form interacts (via FERM domain) with VPRBP/DCAF1. Interacts (via FERM domain) with NOP53; the interaction is direct. Interacts with SCHIP1; the interaction is direct.
Subcellular location. Cell projection. Filopodium membrane. Ruffle membrane. Nucleus Cytoplasm. Perinuclear region. Cytoplasmic granule Cytoplasm. Cytoplasmic granule Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Cytoplasmic granule. Cytoskeleton.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed. Isoform 1 and isoform 3 are predominant. Isoform 4, isoform 5 and isoform 6 are expressed moderately. Isoform 8 is found at low frequency. Isoform 7, isoform 9 and isoform 10 are not expressed in adult tissues, with the exception of adult retina expressing isoform 10. Isoform 9 is faintly expressed in fetal brain, heart, lung, skeletal muscle and spleen. Fetal thymus expresses isoforms 1, 7, 9 and 10 at similar levels.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylation of Ser-518 inhibits nuclear localization by disrupting the intramolecular association of the FERM domain with the C-terminal tail. The dephosphorylation of Ser-518 favors the interaction with NOP53. Ubiquitinated by the CUL4A-RBX1-DDB1-DCAF1/VprBP E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex for ubiquitination and subsequent proteasome-dependent degradation.
Disease relevance. Schwannomatosis, vestibular (SWNV) [MIM:101000] An autosomal dominant neoplasia syndrome characterized by the development of multiple benign nerve sheath tumors called schwannomas, particularly affecting the vestibular nerve. Affected individuals usually present with bilateral vestibular schwannomas but can have schwannomas on other cranial, spinal, and peripheral/cutaneous nerves. Meningiomas are common, whereas 20 to 35% of affected individuals develop intramedullary spinal cord tumors called ependymomas. The condition is also characterized by several ophthalmic features such as lenticular opacities, retinal hamartoma, epiretinal membranes. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Mesothelioma, malignant (MESOM) [MIM:156240] An aggressive neoplasm of the serosal lining of the chest. It appears as broad sheets of cells, with some regions containing spindle-shaped, sarcoma-like cells and other regions showing adenomatous patterns. Pleural mesotheliomas have been linked to exposure to asbestos. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 122 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
