Neurofibromin 2 (NF2, also known as merlin) is a tumor suppressor protein encoded by the neurofibromatosis type 2 gene  NF2 . NF2 is also an actin-binding protein that functions in an intrinsic signaling network critical for actin dynamics. Although protein kinase A (PKA)-mediated NF2-serin (S) 10 phosphorylation stabilizes filamentous actin (F-actin), the underlying mechanisms of NF2-S10 dephosphorylation and the role of NF2 in seizures have been elusive. Here, we demonstrate that pyridoxal-5′-phosphate phosphatase/chronophin (PLPP/CIN) dephosphorylated NF2-S10 site as well as cofilin-S3 site. In addition, NF2-S10 dephosphorylation reversely regulated murine double minute-2 (Mdm2) and postsynaptic density 95 (PSD95) degradations in an activity-dependent manner, which increased seizure intensity and its progression in response to kainic acid (KA). In addition, NF2 knockdown facilitated seizure intensity and its progress through F-actin instability independent of cofilin-mediated actin dynamics. Therefore, we suggest that PLPP/CIN may be a potential therapeutic target for epileptogenesis and NF2-associated diseases.
