Spatial cycles mediated by UNC119 solubilisation maintain Src family kinases plasma membrane localisation

Abstract

The peripheral membrane proto-oncogene Src family protein tyrosine kinases (SFKs) transmit growth factor signals to the cytoplasm. Here the authors show that the solubilising factor UNC119 sequesters myristoylated SFKs to maintain its enrichment at the plasma membrane to enable signal transduction.
