The ShcA adapter protein cooperates with LPP to mediate adhesion dynamics and invadopodia formation
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: ShcA and Lipoma Preferred Partner (LPP) are mediators of TGFβ-induced breast cancer cell migration and invasion. Reduced expression of either protein results in diminished breast cancer lung metastasis. Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy reveals that TGFβ enhances the assembly and disassembly rates of paxillincontaining adhesions in a ShcA-dependent manner through the phosphorylation of specific ShcA tyrosine residues (Y239/Y240/Y313). Using a BioID proximity labeling approach, we show that ShcA exists in a complex with a variety of actin cytoskeletal proteins, including paxillin and LPP. Consistent with a functional interaction between ShcA and LPP, TGFβ-induced LPP localization to adhesions depends on ShcA. Once localized to cellular adhesions, LPP is required to mediate TGFβ-induced cell migration and adhesion dynamics. Mutations that impair LPP localization to adhesions (mLIM1) or interaction with the actin cytoskeleton via α-actinin (ΔABD) abrogate migratory responses to TGFβ. Live-cell TIRF microscopy reveals that ShcA clustering at the cell membrane precedes LPP recruitment. We hypothesize that ShcA promotes the formation of small, dynamic adhesions in the presence of TGFβ by acting as a nucleator of focal complex formation. Finally, we define a previously unknown function for ShcA in the formation of invadopodia, a process that also requires LPP. Our data reveals that ShcA controls the formation and function of two key cellular structures required for breast cancer metastasis.
