Overexpression of kindlin-1 increases phosphorylation of FAK. A, DRG neurons, mock transfected (control) or transfected with α9–eYFP and/or kindlin1–mCherry cultured on laminin, labeled with antibodies to FAK and pY397 FAK. Scale bar, 30 μm. B, Quantification of pY397/total FAK ratio in arbitrary units, analyzed by one-way ANOVA and expressed as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 was statistically significant, n = 5.
