Abstract
INCREASING evidence indicates that the integrin family of cell adhesion receptors can transduce biochemical signals from the extracellular matrix to the cell interior to modulate cell growth and differentiation1. We have shown that integrin/ligand interactions can trigger tyrosine phosphorylation of a protein of Mr 120,000 (pp120), so it is possible that signal transduction by integrins might involve activation of intracellular protein tyrosine kinases as an early event in cell binding to the extracellular matrix2. Here we report that pp120 is identical to the focal adhesion-associated protein tyrosine kinase pp!25FAK (refs 3,4). We show that tyrosine phosphorylation of this protein is modulated both by cell adhesion and transformation by pp60v–src, and that these changes in phosphorylation are correlated with increased pp125FAKtyrosine kinase activity. A model is proposed to relate these findings to the molecular basis of anchorage-independent growth of transformed cells.
