Integrin-mediated adhesion of cells to extracellular matrix proteins triggers a variety of
intracellular signaling pathways including a cascade of tyrosine phosphorylations. In many
cell types, the cytoplasmic focal adhesion tyrosine kinase, FAK, appears to be the initial
protein that becomes tyrosine-phosphorylated in response to adhesion; however, the
molecular mechanisms regulating integrin-triggered FAK phosphorylation are not
understood. Previous studies have shown that the integrin β 1, β 3, and β 5 subunit …
