Expression of focal adhesion protein vinexin is reported to be altered in several cancer tissues; however, the mechanism of expressional change in vinexin is not known. Here we report the suppression of vinexin expression according to cellular transformation by v-Src. We found that vinexin expression was down-regulated both at the mRNA level and at the post-transcriptional level in v-Src-transformed cells.
