| Abstract | We recently reported that a complex between focal adhesion kianse (FAK) and the molecular scaffold RACK1 controlled nascent integrin adhesion formation and cell polarization, via peripheral recruitment of the cAMP - degrading PDE4D5 isoform. Here we review and extend these studies by demonstrating that the FAK/RACK1/PDE4D5 ‘direction-sensing’ complex likely functions by signaling, via the guanine nucleotide exchange factor EPAC , to its small GTPase target Rap1. Specifically, activating EPAC suppresses polarization of squamous cancer cells, while, in contrast, modulating PKA, the other major cAMP effector, has no effect. Moreover, FAK-deficient malignant keratinocytes re-expressing a FAK mutant that cannot bind to RACK1, namely FAK-E139A,D140A, display elevated Rap1 that is linked to impaired polarization. Thus, it is likely that the FAK/RACK1/PDE4D5 complex signals to keep Rap1 low at appropriate times and in a spatially-regulated manner as cells first sense their environment and make decisions about nascent adhesion stabilization and polarization. RACK1 is abundantly expressed in both normal and malignant keratinocytes, while FAK and PDE4D5 are both elevated in the cancer cells, suggesting that the FAK/RACK1/PDE4D5/Rap1 signaling axis may contribute to FAK's well documented role in tumor progression. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
