Abstrakt     B cell receptor (BCR) cross-linking induces tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK), suggesting the role of this molecule in BCR transduced signaling. The nature of FAK function in BCR induced apoptosis of VVEFII 231 lymphoblastoid cells was studied by overexpressing a C-terminal non-catalytic domain of FAK, termed focal adhesion targeted (FAT) domain. Clones overexpressing FAT protein exhibited a modified ability" of induction of programmed cell death at "low concentration threshold of anti-IgM antibodies; suggesxing that FAK may play a role in modulating IgM-induced apoptotic signaling.
