Stromal cell levels and localization of active α5β1-integrin are regulated by desmoplastic extracellular matrix control of αvβ5-integrin signaling, and predict clinical outcomes for pancreatic and renal cancer patients.
Corefucosylation contributes to the maintenance of the articular cartilage phenotype and depletion of FUT8 inhibits recovery from cartilage damage and promotes cartilage degeneration.
C-terminal phosphorylation of the lipid phosphatase PTEN drives a reduction in membrane affinity and leads to a more compact conformation that involves a C2 domain-tail interaction.
