Focal adhesion targeting: the critical determinant of FAK regulation and substrate phosphorylation.
Molecular biology of the cell - 1 Aug 1999
Shen Y, Schaller M D
Abstract excerpt
The focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is discretely localized to focal adhesions via its C-terminal focal adhesion-targeting (FAT) sequence. FAK is regulated by integrin-dependent cell adhesion and can regulate tyrosine phosphorylation of downstream substrates, like paxillin. By the use of a mutational strategy, the regions of FAK that are required for cell adhesion-dependent regulation and for inducing tyrosine...
