Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) controls adhesion-dependent cell motility survival and proliferation. motif on FERM that regulates co-activation and nuclear localization. FAK dimerization requires local enrichment which occurs specifically at focal adhesions. Paxillin plays a dual role by recruiting FAK to focal adhesions and by reinforcing the FAT:FERM interaction. Our results provide a structural and mechanistic… Continue reading Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) controls adhesion-dependent cell motility survival and proliferation.
