Nonetheless, focal contact proteins are central to mechanisms that regulate skin cell motility.

These results implicate the peptide segment nearest to the transmembrane region in focal contact localization.

Interaction between individual FNIII domains and beta1 integrins mediates focal adhesion kinase phosphorylation and subsequent stress fiber and focal contact formation.

Remarkably, both focal contact and hemidesmosomal proteins appear involved in determining the speed and directional migration of epidermal cells by modulating several signal transduction pathways.

PKC delta EC contained significantly greater numbers of focal contacts per cell.

Two days after plating, the majority of the focal contacts were placed on the oxide lines.

We review the molecular components, functions, dynamics and cross-talk of hemidesmosomes and focal contacts in keratinocytes.

Moreover, the number of focal contacts was enhanced by the increase of RGDC peptide densities grafted onto the material surface.

Critical Issues: Although many publications are centered on focal contacts, their existence in tissues such as the skin is controversial.

In transfected COS-1 cells, punctin is deposited in the cell substratum in a punctate fashion and is excluded from focal contacts.

The longest truncated beta 1 subunit tested, which is only four amino acids shorter than the wild type, does localize to focal contacts.

Small focal contacts were also observed with tubulovesicular structures, likely to be endosomes, and with sparse multivesicular bodies and lysosomes found in our reconstructions.
