Abstract excerpt
The Rho GTPase and Fyn tyrosine kinase have been implicated previously in positive control of keratinocyte cell-cell adhesion. Here, we show that Rho and Fyn operate along the same signaling pathway. Endogenous Rho activity increases in differentiating keratinocytes and is required for both Fyn kinase activation and increased tyrosine phosphorylation of beta- and gamma-catenin, which is associated with the...
