The endosomal adaptor protein APPL1 impairs the turnover of leading edge adhesions to regulate cell migration

摘要

The adaptor protein APPL1 regulates cell migration and adhesion dynamics by inhibiting the activity of the serine/threonine kinase Akt at the cell edge and within adhesions. In addition, APPL1 significantly decreases the tyrosine phosphorylation of Akt by the nonreceptor tyrosine kinase Src, which is critical for Akt-mediated cell migration.
