Sortin nexin 17/27/31 are known as PX-FERM proteins, a sub-group of the PX superfamily that contain a defining PtdInsP-binding PX domain, and a C-terminal 4.1, ezrin, radixin, moesin (FERM) domain [1,2]. They are modular peripheral membrane proteins that act as central scaffolds mediating protein-lipid interactions, cargo binding, and regulatory protein recruitment [3]. The FERM domain comprises three lobes termed F1, F2, and F3: F1 adopts a ubiquitin-like fold, F2 is a helical structure similar to acyl-CoA binding protein (Pfam:PF21271), and F3 is similar to the phosphotyrosine binding (PTB)/pleckstrin homology domain and referred to as atypical FERM domain (Pfam:PF18116) [2]. This entry represents the F1 lobe that folds as a prototypical ubiquitin/Ras association (RA) domain [2].

This is the C-terminal domain of sorting nexin 17 (SNX17) present in Homo sapiens. SNX17 localizes to early endosomes where it directly binds NPX(Y/F) motifs in the target receptors to mediate their rates of endocytic internalization, recycling, or degradation. The domain is known as terminal band 4.1/ezrin/radixin/moesin (FERM) domain. The FERM domain binds directly to the common motif, NPX(Y/F), in the cytoplasmic region of its target proteins [1].
