Focal adhesion kinase modulates radial glia-dependent neuronal migration through connexin-26.
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is an intracellular kinase and scaffold protein that regulates migration in many different cellular contexts but whose function in neuronal migration remains controversial. Here, we have analyzed the function of FAK in two populations of neurons with very distinct migratory behaviors: cortical interneurons, which migrate tangentially and independently of radial glia;...
متن کاملSignaling through focal adhesion kinase.
Integrin receptor binding to extracellular matrix proteins generates intracellular signals via enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation events that are important for cell growth, survival, and migration. This review will focus on the functions of the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) protein-tyrosine kinase (PTK) and its role in linking integrin receptors to intracellular signaling pathways. FAK associates ...
متن کاملArginine stimulates intestinal cell migration through a focal adhesion kinase dependent mechanism.
BACKGROUND L-Arginine is a nutritional supplement that may be useful for promoting intestinal repair. Arginine is metabolised by the oxidative deiminase pathway to form nitric oxide (NO) and by the arginase pathway to yield ornithine and polyamines. AIMS To determine if arginine stimulates restitution via activation of NO synthesis and/or polyamine synthesis. METHODS We determined the effec...
متن کاملNeuronal migration is mediated by inositol hexakisphosphate kinase 1 via α-actinin and focal adhesion kinase.
Inositol hexakisphosphate kinase 1 (IP6K1), which generates 5-diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (5-IP7), physiologically mediates numerous functions. We report that IP6K1 deletion leads to brain malformation and abnormalities of neuronal migration. IP6K1 physiologically associates with α-actinin and localizes to focal adhesions. IP6K1 deletion disrupts α-actinin's intracellular localization a...
متن کاملFocal adhesion kinase modulates tension signaling to control actin and focal adhesion dynamics
In response to alphabeta1 integrin signaling, transducers such as focal adhesion kinase (FAK) become activated, relaying to specific machineries and triggering distinct cellular responses. By conditionally ablating Fak in skin epidermis and culturing Fak-null keratinocytes, we show that FAK is dispensable for epidermal adhesion and basement membrane assembly, both of which require alphabeta1 in...
