C-Src-mediated epithelial cell migration and invasion regulated by PDZ binding site.


ABSTRACT: c-Src tyrosine kinase controls proliferation, cell adhesion, and cell migration and is highly regulated. A novel regulatory mechanism to control c-Src function that has recently been identified involves the C-terminal amino acid sequence Gly-Glu-Asn-Leu (GENL) of c-Src as ligand for PDZ domains. Herein, we determined the biological relevance of this c-Src regulation in human breast epithelial cells. The intact GENL sequence maintained c-Src in an inactive state in starved cells and restricted c-Src functions that might lead to metastatic transformation under normal growth conditions. c-Src with a C-terminal Leu/Ala mutation in GENL (Src-A) promoted the activation and translocation of cortactin and focal adhesion kinase and increased the motility and persistence of cell migration on the basement membrane. Src-A promoted increased extracellular proteolytic activity, and in acinar cultures, it led to the escape of cells through the basement membrane into the surrounding matrix. We ascribe the regulatory function of C-terminal Leu to the role of GENL in modulating c-Src activity downstream of cell matrix adhesion. We propose that the C terminus of c-Src via its GENL sequence presents a mechanism that restricts c-Src in epithelia and prevents progression toward an invasive phenotype.
