title: p56(lck) Controls phosphorylation of filamin (ABP-280) and regulates focal adhesion kinase (pp125(FAK)).
abstract: Transformation of cells by src -like kinases leads to altered cell morphology associated with the disassembly of focal contacts and concomitant increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of pp125(FAK) x p56(lck) is a lymphocyte-specific member of the src family of protein tyrosine kinases that associates with cell surface glycoproteins such as CD4 and CD8. It phosphorylates and activates pp125(FAK) and increases its autokinase activity, thus pretreatment of pp125(FAK) with protein kinase C (PKC) markedly attenuates its phosphorylation and activation, suggesting a potential regulatory pathway of pp125(FAK) activation in focal contacts. p56(lck) further phosphorylates and activates actin binding protein (ABP-280; filamin) and controls its association with cell surface receptors such as beta-2 integrins, actin filament cross-linking, and possibly lipid membrane insertion.
