Abstract excerpt
Cell volume affects diverse functions including cytoskeletal organization, but the underlying signaling pathways remained undefined. We have shown previously that shrinkage induces Fyn-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of the cortical actin-binding protein, cortactin. Because FER kinase was implicated in the direct phosphorylation of cortactin, we investigated the osmotic responsiveness of FER and its...
