Abstract: | The fibronectin binding integrins alpha5beta1 and alpha4beta1 generate signals pivotal for cell migration through distinct yet undefined mechanisms. For alpha5beta1, beta1-mediated activation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) promotes c-Src recruitment to FAK and the formation of a FAK-Src signaling complex. Herein, we show that FAK expression is essential for alpha5beta1-stimulated cell motility and that exogenous expression of human alpha4 in FAK-null fibroblasts forms a functional alpha4beta1 receptor that promotes robust cell motility equal to the alpha5beta1 stimulation of wild-type and FAK-reconstituted fibroblasts. alpha4beta1-stimulated FAK-null cell spreading and motility were dependent on the integrity of the alpha4 cytoplasmic domain, independent of direct paxillin binding to alpha4, and were not affected by PRNK expression, a dominant-negative inhibitor of Pyk2. alpha4 cytoplasmic domain-initiated signaling led to a approximately 4-fold activation of c-Src which did not require paxillin binding to alpha4. Notably, alpha4-stimulated cell motility was inhibited by catalytically inactive receptor protein-tyrosine phosphatase alpha overexpression and blocked by the p50Csk phosphorylation of c-Src at Tyr-529. alpha4beta1-stimulated cell motility of triple-null Src(-/-), c-Yes(-/-), and Fyn(-/-) fibroblasts was dependent on c-Src reexpression that resulted in p130Cas tyrosine phosphorylation and Rac GTPase loading. As p130Cas phosphorylation and Rac activation are common downstream targets for alpha5beta1-stimulated FAK activation, our results support the existence of a novel alpha4 cytoplasmic domain connection leading to c-Src activation which functions as a FAK-independent linkage to a common motility-promoting signaling pathway. |
