Vinculin is an essential structural adaptor protein that localizes to sites of adhesion and is involved in a number of cell processes including adhesion, spreading, motility, force transduction, and cell survival. The C-terminal vinculin tail domain (Vt) contains the necessary structural components to bind and cross-link actin filaments. Actin binding to Vt induces a conformational change that promotes dimerization through the C-terminal hairpin of Vt and enables actin filament cross-linking. Here we show that Src phosphorylation of Y1065 within the C-terminal hairpin regulates Vt-mediated actin bundling and provide a detailed characterization of Y1065 mutations. Furthermore, we show that phosphorylation at Y1065 plays a role in cell spreading and the response to the application of mechanical force.
纽蛋白是一种重要的结构衔接蛋白,定位于黏附位点,并参与包括黏附、铺展、迁移、力转导和细胞存活在内的多种细胞过程。纽蛋白的C末端尾部结构域(Vt)包含结合和交联肌动蛋白丝所需的结构成分。肌动蛋白与Vt的结合会诱导构象变化,该变化通过Vt的C末端发夹结构促进二聚化,并实现肌动蛋白丝的交联。在这里,我们表明C末端发夹结构内Y1065位点的Src磷酸化调节Vt介导的肌动蛋白成束,并对Y1065突变进行了详细表征。此外,我们表明Y1065位点的磷酸化在细胞铺展和对施加机械力的反应中发挥作用。
