ERBB4 is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/ERBB subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases that regulates cellular processes including proliferation, migration, and survival. ERBB4 signaling is involved in embryogenesis and homeostasis of healthy adult tissues, but also in human pathologies such as cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. Here, an MS-based analysis revealed the Vav guanine nucleotide exchange factor 3 (VAV3), an activator of Rho family GTPases, as a critical ERBB4-interacting protein in breast cancer cells. We confirmed the ERBB4-VAV3 interaction by targeted MS and coimmunoprecipitation experiments and further defined it by demonstrating that kinase activity and Tyr-1022 and Tyr-1162 of ERBB4, as well as the intact phosphotyrosine-interacting SH2 domain of VAV3, are necessary for this interaction. We found that ERBB4 stimulates tyrosine phosphorylation of the VAV3 activation domain, known to be required for guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activity of VAV proteins. In addition to VAV3, the other members of the VAV family, VAV1 and VAV2, also coprecipitated with ERBB4. Analyses of the effects of overexpression of dominant-negative VAV3 constructs or shRNA-mediated down-regulation of VAV3 expression in breast cancer cells indicated that active VAV3 is involved in ERBB4-stimulated cell migration. These results define the VAV GEFs as effectors of ERBB4 activity in a signaling pathway relevant for cancer cell migration.
ERBB4 是表皮生长因子受体 (EGFR)/ERBB 受体酪氨酸激酶亚家族的成员,它调节包括增殖、迁移和存活在内的细胞过程。ERBB4 信号参与胚胎发生和健康成年组织的动态平衡,但也参与人类病理学,如癌症、神经紊乱和心血管疾病。在这里,一项基于 MS 的分析揭示了 Vav 鸟嘌呤核苷酸交换因子 3 (VAV3),一种 Rho 家族 GTPase 的激活剂,是乳腺癌细胞中 ERBB4 的关键相互作用蛋白。我们通过靶向 MS 和共免疫沉淀实验证实了 ERBB4-VAV3 相互作用,并通过证明 ERBB4 的激酶活性和 Tyr-1022 和 Tyr-1162 以及 VAV3 的完整磷酸酪氨酸相互作用 SH2 结构域对于这种相互作用是必需的,进一步定义了这种相互作用。我们发现 ERBB4 刺激 VAV3 激活结构域的酪氨酸磷酸化,这是 VAV 蛋白的鸟嘌呤核苷酸交换因子 (GEF) 活性所必需的。除了 VAV3,VAV 家族的其他成员,VAV1 和 VAV2,也与 ERBB4 共沉淀。在乳腺癌细胞中过表达显性失活 VAV3 构建体或 shRNA 介导的 VAV3 表达下调的分析表明,活性 VAV3 参与 ERBB4 刺激的细胞迁移。这些结果将 VAV GEFs 定义为 ERBB4 活性在与癌细胞迁移相关的信号通路中的效应物。
