Cas phosphorylation regulates focal adhesion assembly.
ELife 2023 July 26
Integrin-mediated cell attachment rapidly induces tyrosine kinase signaling. Despite years of research, the role of this signaling in integrin activation and focal adhesion assembly is unclear. We provide evidence that the Src-family kinase (SFK) substrate Cas (Crk-associated substrate, p130Cas, BCAR1) is phosphorylated, and associated with its effectors, Crk/CrkL, in clusters that are precursors of focal adhesions. The initial phospho-Cas clusters contain integrin b1 in its inactive, bent closed, conformation. Later, phospho-Cas and total Cas levels decrease as integrin b1 is activated and core focal adhesion proteins including vinculin, talin, kindlin and paxillin are recruited. Cas is required for cell spreading and focal adhesion assembly in epithelial and fibroblast cells on collagen and fibronectin. Cas cluster formation requires Cas, Crk/CrkL, SFKs and Rac1 but not vinculin. Rac1 provides positive feedback onto Cas through reactive oxygen, opposed by negative feedback from the ubiquitin proteasome system. The results suggest a two-step model for focal adhesion assembly in which clusters of phospho-Cas, effectors and inactive integrin b1 grow through positive feedback prior to integrin activation and recruitment of core focal adhesion proteins.
