Enabled/Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (Ena/VASP) protein family members link actin dynamics and cellular signaling pathways. VASP localizes to regions of dynamic actin reorganization such as the focal adhesion contacts, the leading edge or filopodia, where it contributes to F-actin filament elongation. Here we identify VASP as a novel substrate for protein kinase D1 (PKD1). We show that PKD1 directly phosphorylates VASP at two serine residues, Ser-157 and Ser-322. These phosphorylations occur in response to RhoA activation and mediate VASP re-localization from focal contacts to the leading edge region. The net result of this PKD1-mediated phosphorylation switch in VASP is increased filopodia formation and length at the leading edge. However, such signaling when persistent induced membrane ruffling and decreased cell motility.
Ena/VASP 蛋白家族成员将肌动蛋白动力学和细胞信号通路联系起来。VASP 定位于动态肌动蛋白重排的区域,如粘着斑接触、前缘或丝状伪足,在这些区域它有助于 F-肌动蛋白丝的延伸。在这里,我们发现 VASP 是蛋白激酶 D1 (PKD1) 的一个新底物。我们表明 PKD1 可直接在丝氨酸残基 157 和 322 上磷酸化 VASP。这些磷酸化反应发生在 RhoA 激活的响应中,并介导 VASP 从粘着斑重新定位到前缘区域。PKD1 介导的 VASP 磷酸化转换的净结果是增加了前缘处的丝状伪足形成和长度。然而,当这种信号持续存在时,会诱导细胞膜皱襞和降低细胞迁移。
