title: Role of focal adhesion kinase in MAP kinase activation by insulin-like growth factor-I or insulin.
abstract: Integrin-induced focal adhesion kinase (FAK) phosphorylation as well as insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and insulin activate MAP kinase. Since IGF-I or insulin have been suggested to affect FAK phosphorylation, we analyzed the role of FAK in IGF-I- or insulin-induced MAP kinase activation. Although MAP kinase was stimulated by IGF-I or insulin, FAK tyrosine phosphorylation remained unchanged in fibroblasts expressing normal or transiently elevated levels of IGF-I and insulin receptors. Further analysis in FAK deficient fibroblasts suggested that FAK impedes MAP kinase activation by IGF-I or insulin.
