title: v-Src's hold over actin and cell adhesions.
abstract: The oncoprotein v-Src and its cellular homologue (c-Src) are tyrosine kinases that modulate the actin cytoskeleton and cell adhesions. Through the concerted action of their protein-interaction and kinase domains, they are targeted to cell matrix integrin adhesions or cadherin-dependent junctions between epithelial cells, where they phosphorylate substrates that induce adhesion turnover and actin re-modelling. Recent experiments have defined some of the key targets and effector pathways that mediate the pleiotropic oncogenic effects of v-Src.
