The Slingshot Family of Phosphatases Mediates Rac1 Regulation of Cofilin Phosphorylation, Laminin-332 Organization, and Motility Behavior of Keratinocytes
11 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
The motility of keratinocytes is an essential component of wound closure and the development of epidermal tumors. In vitro, the specific motile behavior of keratinocytes is dictated by the assembly of laminin-332 tracks, a process that is dependent upon alpha6beta4 integrin signaling to Rac1 and the actin-severing protein cofilin. Here we have analyzed how cofilin phosphorylation is regulated by phosphatases...
