Abstract:

Background: LKB1 is a serine/threonine kinase important for cell polarity and motility. Results: LKB1 loss causes focal adhesion kinase hyperactivation and aberrant cell motility. Conclusion: LKB1 represses focal adhesion kinase to regulate its turnover. Significance: This provides information on how LKB1 regulates the cell adhesion pathway during cell motility.
