Abstract excerpt
Ligand-induced PDGF-type beta receptor (PDGFbeta-R) autophosphorylation is profoundly suppressed in cells transformed by activated p21(Ras). We report here that the integrity of the actin cytoskeleton is a critical regulator of PDGFbeta-R function in the presence of p21(Ras). Morphological reversion of Balb cells expressing a constitutively activated p21(Ras), with re-formation of actin stress fibers and...
