Experimental details: Western blot analysis of Rac1 was performed by loading 50 µg of various whole cell lysate onto a 4-20% Tris-HCl polyacrylamide gel. Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% BSA/TBST for at least 1 hour. Membranes were then probed with a rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizing Rac1 (Product # PA1-091) at a dilution of 1:1000 overnight at 4°C on a rocking platform. Membranes were then washed in TBS-0.1%Tween 20 and probed with a goat anti-rabbit-HRP secondary antibody (Product # 31460) at a dilution of 1:15000 for at least one hour. Membranes were washed and chemiluminescent detection was performed using Super Signal West Pico (Product # 34080).

Experimental details: Knockdown of RAC1 was achieved by transfecting HT-29 with RAC1 specific siRNAs (Silencer® select Product # S11713). Western blot analysis (Fig. a) was performed using Membrane enriched extracts from the RAC1 knockdown cells (lane 3), non-targeting scrambled siRNA transfected cells (lane 2) and untransfected cells (lane 1). The blot was probed with RAC1 Polyclonal Antibody (Product # PA1-091, 1:1000 dilution) and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Superclonal™ Recombinant Secondary Antibody, HRP (Product # A27036, 1:4000 dilution). Densitometric analysis of this western blot is shown in histogram (Fig. b). Decrease in signal upon siRNA mediated knock down confirms that antibody is specific to RAC1.

Experimental details: FIGURE 6 FLNA is a substrate of Pak1, and the effects of FLNA mutations [FLNA (P637Q) and FLNA (G288R)] on PN induced FLNA phosphorylation, on activation of Rac1, and on cell migration are shown. (A) VICs were transfected with FLNA shRNA. The stable clones were isolated and designated as FLNA-deficient VICs (VICs Delta FLNA) WT VICs and FLNA Delta VICs were transfected with vector or with wild-type FLNA lentiviral constructs for 72 h before treatment. These transfected VICs were then embedded in three-dimensional collagen matrices to analyze collagen lattice compaction (see the ""Materials and Methods"" section for details). (B) Transwell migration assays are shown for WT VICs and VICs Delta FLNA pre-transfected with the indicated lentiviral constructs. Percentages of cells seeded in the upper chamber of Transwell filters that migrated overnight into the lower chamber are shown. Numbers of migrated cells were counted on six fields from three experiments. Detailed descriptions are in the ""Materials and Methods"" section. (C) Western blot analyses are shown for FLNA and beta-actin (internal control) proteins in the lysates from WT VICs and VICs Delta FLNA pretransfected with the indicated lentiviral constructs. (D) Validation was done for the FLNA shRNAs used in the experiments of (A-C) . Two shRNAs (shRNA1 and shRNA2) were used for the FLNA protein. For a detailed description, see the ""Materials and Methods"" section. Both shRNAs effectively silenced FLNA gene expression by
