Abstract excerpt
Vinculin is a highly conserved cytoskeletal protein that localizes to sites of cell adhesion. The tail domain of vinculin (Vt) forms tight autoinhibitory interactions with the head domain and down-regulates vinculin function by obscuring ligand binding sites. Ligand binding is required for both vinculin activation and function, and one of vinculin's primary roles as a cell adhesion protein involves its ability to...
