Constitutively active Rac1 (GFP-L61 Rac1, blue) targets to focal adhesions in a mouse embryo fibroblast. Focal adhesions and focal complexes showing Rac1 localization appear fuchsia due to colocalization with antibody-labeled vinculin (red). Phalloidin-labeled F-actin appears green. The activation state of Rac1 regulates its localization to focal adhesions. See the full article by Chang et al. on p. 253 of this issue of MBC.
