Adenovirus internalization requires p130CAS and PI 3-kinase, with the RPLPSPP motif of p130CAS interacting with the SH3 domain of p85/PI 3-kinase to coordinate integrin-mediated endocytosis.
The study reveals the molecular basis by which p130(CAS) coordinates signaling pathways involving PI 3-kinase to mediate integrin-dependent adenovirus endocytosis.
The Crk-associated substrate, p130(CAS), has been implicated in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton following ligation of cell integrins with the extracellular matrix. Integrin-mediated cell adhesion involves p130(CAS) association with focal adhesion kinase (p125(FAK)). Internalization/cell entry of type 2 and type 5 adenoviruses (Ad) is also mediated by alpha(v) integrins. However, expression of dominant negative forms of p125(FAK) does not alter virus entry, and Ad entry occurs normally in p125(FAK)-deficient fibroblasts. We now provide evidence that Ad internalization, a process which is mediated by alpha(v) integrins, also requires p130(CAS) and phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase (PI 3-kinase). Ad induces p130(CAS) phosphorylation and inhibition of p130(CAS) phosphorylation by tyrphostin and genistein, or expression of the substrate domain deleted p130(CAS) blocks Ad internalization. p130(CAS) was also found to associate with the p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase through its proline-rich domain during virus internalization and expression of p130(CAS) containing a deleted proline-rich domain (PRD) inhibited adenovirus cell entry. We showed further that the RPLPSPP motif in the proline-rich region of p130(CAS) interacts with the SH3 domain of p85/PI 3-kinase. These studies reveal the molecular basis by which p130(CAS) coordinates the signaling pathways involved in integrin-mediated Ad endocytosis.
Li et al. (Mon,) conducted a other in Adenovirus cell entry. p130CAS and PI 3-kinase inhibition or mutation was evaluated on Adenovirus internalization. Adenovirus internalization requires p130CAS and PI 3-kinase, with the RPLPSPP motif of p130CAS interacting with the SH3 domain of p85/PI 3-kinase to coordinate integrin-mediated endocytosis.
