The new technique, dubbed rapamycin-regulated targeted activation of pathways (RapRTAP), was used to dissect the role of Src kinase interactions with FAK and p130Cas in cell motility and morphodynamics.  The conserved nature of the kinase site modified for RapRTAP indicates that the technique can be applied to many kinases.
