摘要: Death-associated protein (DAP)-kinase, an actin-cytoskeleton localized serine/threonine kinase, functions as a novel tumor suppressor and participates in wide variety of cell death systems. Recent studies indicate that DAP-kinase elicits potent cytoskeletal reorganization effect is capable modulating integrin inside-out signaling. Using this understanding function framework, we discuss the functional mechanisms kinase regulating death-associated morphological signaling events. Furthermore, potential role to be drug target also discussed.
