The Ras-related GTPase Rap has been implicated in multiple cellular functions. In particular, Rap1 is a crucial regulator of both inside-out integrin activation and outside-in E-cadherin-mediated signaling. Thus, Rap1 was proposed as a fundamental regulator of the cross talk between cadherins and integrins. We provide microscopic techniques to study subcellular localization of Rap1 protein in the crosstalk between integrins and cadherins.

Abstract

The Ras-related GTPase Rap has been implicated in multiple cellular functions. In particular, Rap1 is a crucial regulator of both inside-out integrin activation and outside-in E-cadherin-mediated signaling. Thus, Rap1 was proposed as a fundamental regulator of the cross talk between cadherins and integrins. We provide microscopic techniques to study subcellular localization of Rap1 protein in the crosstalk between integrins and cadherins.
