Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mammalian integrin-linked kinase (ILK) was identified in a yeast two-hybrid screen for proteins binding the integrin beta(1) subunit cytoplasmic domain. ILK has been implicated in integrin-mediated signaling and is also an adaptor within integrin-associated cytoskeletal complexes. RESULTS: We identified the C. elegans pat-4 gene in previous genetic screens for mutants unable to assemble...
