Abstract excerpt
Integrin alpha(v)beta(3)-mediated adhesion of hematopoietic cells to vitronectin results in activation of the Rho GTPases. Mutation of beta(3) tyrosine residue 747, previously shown to disrupt cell adhesion, results in sustained activation of Cdc42 and diminished Rac and Rho activity. We investigated the role of the hematopoietically restricted guanine nucleotide exchange factor Vav1 in alpha(v)beta(3)-mediated...
