Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of v-src-induced morphological transformation is still obscure. We compared LA29 rat fibroblasts, which express a temperature-sensitive (ts) v-src mutant, with D1025 rat fibroblasts, transfected with a ts mutant of v-fps. Upon transformation, LA29 cells adopted an elongated shape with reduced focal adhesions and loss of actin stress fibers. In contrast, activation of v-fps in D1025 cells had little...
