168 Circulation Research July 5, 2019 localizes to integrin-rich focal adhesion sites. 11 It is known to mediate integrin and growth factor signaling pathways to regulate SMC proliferation and motility. Importantly, SMC-specific depletion of FAK was shown to inhibit injury-induced neointima formation supporting its role in facilitating pathological vascular remodeling. 12 FAK is a 125-kDa protein that consists of an N-terminal FERM domain that facilitates its protein scaffolding function, a central kinase domain, proline-rich regions, and a C-terminal focal adhesion targeting (FAT) domain that promotes localization of FAK to focal adhesions. 11 Previous studies identified an endogenous inhibitor of FAK, FRNK (FAK-related nonkinase), as a SMC-specific regulator of FAK activity. 13 FRNK is expressed as an independent protein containing the C-terminal FAT domain but lacking kinase activity. FRNK inhibits FAK activity by competitively interacting with FAK binding partners in focal adhesions or through recruitment of negative regulators of FAK to focal complexes. Thus, these earlier data revealed a novel, endogenous, and SMC-specific mechanism in place to regulate integrin-and growth factor-mediated FAK activation and SMC function. The current study highlights a new endogenous mechanism of FAK regulation, placing FAK as an essential regulator of pathological vascular remodeling and a potential novel therapeutic target for the treatment of vascular disease.
