The human Na+/H+ exchanger 1 is a membrane scaffold protein for extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2

Abstract

This work characterizes a new type of scaffolding complex, which we term a "shuffle complex", between the disordered hNHE1-tail and ERK2, and provides a molecular mechanism for the important ERK2 scaffolding function of the membrane protein hNHE1, which regulates the phosphorylation of both hNHE1 and ERK2.
