Biophysical properties of intrinsically disordered p130Cas substrate domain--implication in mechanosensing. by Kinya Hotta, Soumya Ranganathan, Ruchuan Liu, Fei Wu, Hiroaki Machiyama, Rong Gao, Hiroaki Hirata, Neelesh Soni, Takashi Ohe, Christopher W V Hogue, M S Madhusudhan, Yasuhiro Sawada

“…Mechanical stretch-induced tyrosine phosphorylation in the proline-rich 306-residue substrate domain (CasSD) of p130Cas (or BCAR1) has eluded an experimentally validated structural understanding. Cellular p130Cas tyrosine phosphorylation is shown to function in areas without internal actomyosin contractility, sensing force at the leading edge of cell migration. …”
