Model of FAK Regulation. (A) In its inactive state, the FERM domain is believed to interact with the catalytic domain to repress activity. (B) Upon activation, this interaction may be disrupted. The basic patch in the F2 subdomain of the FERM domain (asterisk) is required for optimal activation and is perhaps involved in relieving FERM domain-mediated repression of kinase activity.
