Recent studies from our laboratory demonstrate an essential role for the p21 activated kinase (Pak) 1 in control of salivary gland lumen size through the cell-cell adhesion protein, E-cadherin. Pak proteins are serine-threonine kinases that control vascular integrity in zebrafish blood vessels (Buchner et al., 2007 Liu et al., 2007) and lumen formation by human endothelial cells cultured in three-dimensional collagen matrices (Koh et al., 2008 Koh et al., 2009). In the Drosophila embryonic salivary gland, Pakl functions downstream of the small...
