Depletion of Host Cell Focal Adhesion Kinase Increases the Susceptibility to Invasion by Trypanosoma cruzi Metacyclic Forms

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK), a cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase (PTK), is implicated in diverse cellular processes, including the regulation of F-actin dynamics. Host cell F-actin rearrangement is critical for invasion of Trypanosoma cruzi, the protozoan parasite that causes Chagas disease. It is...
