C-Src-mediated phosphorylation and activation of kinesin KIF1C promotes elongation of invadopodia in cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: Invadopodia on cancer cells play crucial roles in tumor invasion and metastasis by degrading and remodeling the surrounding extracellular matrices and driving cell migration in complex 3D environments. Previous studies have indicated that microtubules (MTs) play a crucial role in elongation of invadopodia, but not their formation, probably by regulating delivery of membrane and secretory proteins within invadopodia. However, the identity of the responsible MT-based molecular motors and their regulation has been elusive. Here, we show that KIF1C, a member of kinesin-3 family, is localized to the tips of invadopodia and is required for their elongation and the invasion of cancer cells. We also found that c-Src phosphorylates tyrosine residues within the stalk domain of KIF1C, thereby enhancing its association with tyrosine phosphatase PTPD1, that in turn activates MT-binding ability of KIF1C, probably by relieving the autoinhibitory interaction between its motor and stalk domains. These findings shed new insights into how c-Src signaling is coupled to the MT-dependent dynamic nature of invadopodia and also advance our understanding of the mechanism of KIF1C activation through release of its autoinhibition.

Src-dependent Tks5 phosphorylation regulates invadopodia-associated invasion in prostate cancer cells.

Project description:BackgroundThe Src tyrosine kinase substrate and adaptor protein Tks5 had previously been implicated in the invasive phenotype of normal and transformed cell types via regulation of cytoskeletal structures called podosomes/invadopodia. The role of Src-Tks5 signaling in invasive prostate cancer, however, had not been previously evaluated.MethodsWe measured the relative expression of Tks5 in normal (n = 20) and cancerous (n = 184, from 92 patients) prostate tissue specimens by immunohistochemistry using a commercially available tumor microarray. We also manipulated the expression and activity of wild-type and mutant Src and Tks5 constructs in the LNCaP and PC-3 prostate cancer cell lines in order to ascertain the role of Src-Tks5 signaling in invadopodia development, matrix-remodeling activity, motility, and invasion.ResultsOur studies demonstrated that Src was activated and Tks5 upregulated in high Gleason score prostate tumor specimens and in invasive prostate cancer cell lines. Remarkably, overexpression of Tks5 in LNCaP cells was sufficient to induce invadopodia formation and associated matrix degradation. This Tks5-dependent increase in invasive behavior further depended on Src tyrosine kinase activity and the phosphorylation of Tks5 at tyrosine residues 557 and 619. In PC-3 cells we demonstrated that Tks5 phosphorylation at these sites was necessary and sufficient for invadopodia-associated matrix degradation and invasion.ConclusionsOur results suggest a general role for Src-Tks5 signaling in prostate tumor progression and the utility of Tks5 as a marker protein for the staging of this disease.

c-Src phosphorylation and activation of hexokinase promotes tumorigenesis and metastasis.

Project description:It is well known that c-Src has important roles in tumorigenesis. However, it remains unclear whether c-Src contributes to metabolic reprogramming. Here we find that c-Src can interact with and phosphorylate hexokinases HK1 and HK2, the rate-limiting enzymes in glycolysis. Tyrosine phosphorylation dramatically increases their catalytic activity and thus enhances glycolysis. Mechanistically, c-Src phosphorylation of HK1 at Tyr732 robustly decreases its Km and increases its Vmax by disrupting its dimer formation. Mutation in c-Src phosphorylation site of either HK1 or HK2 remarkably abrogates the stimulating effects of c-Src on glycolysis, cell proliferation, migration, invasion, tumorigenesis and metastasis. Due to its lower Km for glucose, HK1 rather than HK2 is required for tumour cell survival when glucose is scarce. Importantly, HK1-Y732 phosphorylation level remarkably correlates with the incidence and metastasis of various clinical cancers and may serve as a marker to predict metastasis risk of primary cancers.

C-terminal Src kinase-mediated EPIYA phosphorylation of Pragmin creates a feed-forward C-terminal Src kinase activation loop that promotes cell motility.

Project description:Pragmin is one of the few mammalian proteins containing the Glu-Pro-Ile-Tyr-Ala (EPIYA) tyrosine-phosphorylation motif that was originally discovered in the Helicobacter pylori CagA oncoprotein. Following delivery into gastric epithelial cells by type IV secretion and subsequent tyrosine phosphorylation at the EPIYA motifs, CagA serves as an oncogenic scaffold/adaptor that promiscuously interacts with SH2 domain-containing mammalian proteins such as the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-2 (SHP2) and the C-terminal Src kinase (Csk), a negative regulator of Src family kinases. Like CagA, Pragmin also forms a physical complex with Csk. In the present study, we found that Pragmin directly binds to Csk by the tyrosine-phosphorylated EPIYA motif. The complex formation potentiates kinase activity of Csk, which in turn phosphorylates Pragmin on tyrosine-238 (Y238), Y343, and Y391. As Y391 of Pragmin comprises the EPIYA motif, Pragmin-Csk interaction creates a feed-forward regulatory loop of Csk activation. Together with the finding that Pragmin and Csk are colocalized to focal adhesions, these observations indicate that the Pragmin-Csk interaction, triggered by Pragmin EPIYA phosphorylation, robustly stimulates the kinase activity of Csk at focal adhesions, which direct cell-matrix adhesion that regulates cell morphology and cell motility. As a consequence, expression of Pragmin and/or Csk in epithelial cells induces an elongated cell shape with elevated cell scattering in a manner that is mutually dependent on Pragmin and Csk. Deregulation of the Pragmin-Csk axis may therefore induce aberrant cell migration that contributes to tumor invasion and metastasis.

c-Src-mediated phosphorylation of NoxA1 and Tks4 induces the reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent formation of functional invadopodia in human colon cancer cells.

Project description:The NADPH oxidase family, consisting of Nox1-5 and Duox1-2, catalyzes the regulated formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Highly expressed in the colon, Nox1 needs the organizer subunit NoxO1 and the activator subunit NoxA1 for its activity. The tyrosine kinase c-Src is necessary for the formation of invadopodia, phosphotyrosine-rich structures which degrade the extracellular matrix (ECM). Many Src substrates are invadopodia components, including the novel Nox1 organizer Tks4 and Tks5 proteins. Nox1-dependent ROS generation is necessary for the maintenance of functional invadopodia in human colon cancer cells. However, the signals and the molecular machinery involved in the redox-dependent regulation of invadopodia formation remain unclear. Here, we show that the interaction of NoxA1 and Tks proteins is dependent on Src activity. Interestingly, the abolishment of Src-mediated phosphorylation of Tyr110 on NoxA1 and of Tyr508 on Tks4 blocks their binding and decreases Nox1-dependent ROS generation. The contemporary presence of Tks4 and NoxA1 unphosphorylable mutants blocks SrcYF-induced invadopodia formation and ECM degradation, while the overexpression of Tks4 and NoxA1 phosphomimetic mutants rescues this phenotype. Taken together, these results elucidate the role of c-Src activity on the formation of invadopodia and may provide insight into the mechanisms of tumor formation in colon cancers.

GDNF promotes tubulogenesis of GFRalpha1-expressing MDCK cells by Src-mediated phosphorylation of Met receptor tyrosine kinase.

Project description:Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) are multifunctional signaling molecules in embryogenesis. HGF binds to and activates Met receptor tyrosine kinase. The signaling receptor complex for GDNF typically includes both GDNF family receptor alpha1 (GFRalpha1) and Ret receptor tyrosine kinase. GDNF can also signal independently of Ret via GFRalpha1, although the mechanism has remained unclear. We now show that GDNF partially restores ureteric branching morphogenesis in ret-deficient mice with severe renal hypodysplasia. The mechanism of Ret-independent effect of GDNF was therefore studied by the MDCK cell model. In MDCK cells expressing GFRalpha1 but no Ret, GDNF stimulates branching but not chemotactic migration, whereas both branching and chemotaxis are promoted by GDNF in the cells coexpressing Ret and GFRalpha1, mimicking HGF/Met responses in wild-type MDCK cells. Indeed, GDNF induces Met phosphorylation in several ret-deficient/GFRalpha1-positive and GFRalpha1/Ret-coexpressing cell lines. However, GDNF does not immunoprecipite Met, making a direct interaction between GDNF and Met highly improbable. Met activation is mediated by Src family kinases. The GDNF-induced branching of MDCK cells requires Src activation, whereas the HGF-induced branching does not. Our data show a mechanism for the GDNF-induced branching morphogenesis in non-Ret signaling.

The kinesin KIF1C transports APC-dependent mRNAs to cell protrusions

Project description:Transcriptome analysis of specific mRNA interacting with KIF1C-GFP in HeLa Cells. RNA localization and local translation are involved in a wide range of cellular functions. In mammals, a class of mRNAs localize to cytoplasmic protrusions in an APC dependent manner, with important roles during cell migration. Here, we investigated this localization mechanism. We found that the KIF1C motor interacts with many APC-dependent mRNAs and is required for their localization. Live cell imaging of localizing mRNAs further revealed rapid, active transport of single mRNAs over long distances, and showed that this requires both microtubules and KIF1C. Moreover, two color imaging directly revealed single mRNAs transported by single KIF1C motors, with the 3’UTR of localized mRNAs being sufficient to trigger KIF1C-dependent RNA transport and localization. These results reveal a general RNA transport pathway in mammalian cells, in which the KIF1C motor transports RNAs to cytoplasmic protrusions. Interestingly, KIF1C also transported its own mRNA suggesting a possible feedback loop acting at the level of mRNA transport.

Mitotic kinesin CENP-E promotes microtubule plus-end elongation.

Project description:Centromere protein CENP-E is a dimeric kinesin (Kinesin-7 family) with critical roles in mitosis, including establishment of microtubule (MT)-chromosome linkage and movement of mono-oriented chromosomes on kinetochore microtubules for proper alignment at metaphase [1-9]. We performed studies to test the hypothesis that CENP-E promotes MT elongation at the MT plus ends. A human CENP-E construct was engineered, expressed, and purified, and it yielded the CENP-E-6His dimeric motor protein. The results show that CENP-E promotes MT plus-end-directed MT gliding at 11 nm/s. The results from real-time microscopy assays indicate that 60.3% of polarity-marked MTs exhibited CENP-E-promoted MT plus-end elongation. The MT extension required ATP turnover, and MT plus-end elongation occurred at 1.48 ?m/30 min. Immunolocalization studies revealed that 80.8% of plus-end-elongated MTs showed CENP-E at the MT plus end. The time dependence of CENP-E-promoted MT elongation in solution best fit a single exponential function (k(obs) = 5.1 s(-1)), which is indicative of a mechanism in which ?,?-tubulin subunit addition is tightly coupled to ATP turnover. Based on these results, we propose that CENP-E, as part of its function in chromosome kinetochore-MT linkage, plays a direct role in MT elongation.

The kinesin KIF1C transports APC-dependent mRNAs to cell protrusions.

Project description:RNA localization and local translation are important for numerous cellular functions. In mammals, a class of mRNAs localize to cytoplasmic protrusions in an APC-dependent manner, with roles during cell migration. Here, we investigated this localization mechanism. We found that the KIF1C motor interacts with APC-dependent mRNAs and is required for their localization. Live cell imaging revealed rapid, active transport of single mRNAs over long distances that requires both microtubules and KIF1C. Two-color imaging directly revealed single mRNAs transported by single KIF1C motors, with the 3'UTR being sufficient to trigger KIF1C-dependent RNA transport and localization. Moreover, KIF1C remained associated with peripheral, multimeric RNA clusters and was required for their formation. These results reveal a widespread RNA transport pathway in mammalian cells, in which the KIF1C motor has a dual role in transporting RNAs and clustering them within cytoplasmic protrusions. Interestingly, KIF1C also transports its own mRNA, suggesting a possible feedback loop acting at the level of mRNA transport.

Phosphorylation of RIAM by src promotes integrin activation by unmasking the PH domain of RIAM.

Project description:Integrin activation controls cell adhesion, migration, invasion, and extracellular matrix remodeling. RIAM (RAP1-GTP-interacting adaptor molecule) is recruited by activated RAP1 to the plasma membrane (PM) to mediate integrin activation via an inside-out signaling pathway. This process requires the association of the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain of RIAM with the membrane PIP2. We identify a conserved intermolecular interface that masks the PIP2-binding site in the PH domains of RIAM. Our data indicate that phosphorylation of RIAM by Src family kinases disrupts this PH-mediated interface, unmasks the membrane PIP2-binding site, and promotes integrin activation. We further demonstrate that this process requires phosphorylation of Tyr267 and Tyr427 in the RIAM PH domain by Src. Our data reveal an unorthodox regulatory mechanism of small GTPase effector proteins by phosphorylation-dependent PM association of the PH domain and provide new insights into the link between Src kinases and integrin signaling.

EGFR-c-Src-Mediated HDAC3 Phosphorylation Exacerbates Invasion of Breast Cancer Cells.

Project description:Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among women. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src (c-Src) are critical components of the signaling pathways that are associated with breast cancer. However, the regulatory mechanism of histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) in these pathways remains unclear. Using the Net Phos 3.1 program for the analysis of kinase consensus motifs, we found two c-Src-mediated putative phosphorylation sites, tyrosine (Tyr, Y)-328 and Y331 on HDAC3, and generated a phospho-specific HDAC3 antibody against these sites. c-Src-mediated phosphorylation was observed in the cells expressing wild-type HDAC3 (HDAC3WT), but not in cells overexpressing phosphorylation-defective HDAC3 (HDAC3Y328/331A). Phosphorylated HDAC3 showed relatively higher deacetylase activity, and PP2, which is a c-Src inhibitor, blocked HDAC3 phosphorylation and reduced its enzymatic activity. EGF treatment resulted in HDAC3 phosphorylation in both MDA-MB-231 and EGFR-overexpressing MCF7 (MCF7-EGFR) cells, but not in MCF7 cells. Total internal reflection fluorescence analysis showed that HDAC3 was recruited to the plasma membrane following EGF stimulation. HDAC3 inhibition with either c-Src knockdown or PP2 treatment significantly ameliorated the invasiveness of breast cancer cells. Altogether, our findings reveal an EGF signaling cascade involving EGFR, c-Src, and HDAC3 in breast cancer cells.
