Background Retinoic acid(RA), an embryonic morphogen, regulates cell differentiation. Endocytosis regulates receptor signaling that governs such RA-directed cellular processes. Vacuolin-1 is a small molecule that disrupts endocytosis, motivating interest

Roads to Stat3 Paved with Cadherins
The engagement of cadherins, cell-to-cell adhesion proteins, triggers a dramatic increase in the levels and activity of the Rac/Cdc42 GTPases, through the inhibition of proteasomal degradation.

Grb2 Promotes Integrin-Induced Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) Autophosphorylation and Directs the Phosphorylation of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase α by the Src-FAK Kinase Complex [PDF]
The integrin-activated Src-focal adhesion kinase (FAK) kinase complex phosphorylates PTPα at Tyr789, initiating PTPα-mediated signaling that promotes cell migration. Recruitment of the BCAR3-Cas complex by PTPα-phospho-Tyr789 at focal adhesions is one mechanism of PTPα signaling.

Role of Protein-tyrosine Phosphatase SHP2 in Focal Adhesion Kinase Down-regulation during Neutrophil Cathepsin G-induced Cardiomyocytes Anoikis [PDF]
Inflammatory cells and their proteases contribute to tissue reparation at site of inflammation. Although beneficial at early stages, excessive inflammatory reaction leads to cell death and tissue damage. Cathepsin G (Cat.G), a neutrophil-derived serine protease, has been shown to induce neonatal rat cardiomyocyte detachment and apoptosis by anoikis ...

Stable association of pp60src and pp59fyn with the focal adhesion-associated protein tyrosine kinase, pp125FAK [PDF]
Changes in cellular growth and dramatic alterations in cell morphology and adhesion are common features of cells transformed by oncogenic protein tyrosine kinases, such as pp60src and other members of the Src family. In this report, we present evidence for the stable association of two Src family kinases (pp60src and pp59fyn) with tyrosine ...

Molecular characterization of c-Abl/c-Src kinase inhibitors targeted against murine tumour progenitor cells that express stem cell markers. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The non-receptor tyrosine kinases c-Abl and c-Src are overexpressed in various solid human tumours. Inhibition of their hyperactivity represents a molecular rationale in the combat of cancerous diseases.
