Vav2 as a Rac-GDP/GTP Exchange Factor Responsible for the Nectin-induced, c-Src- and Cdc42-mediated Activation of Rac*
From the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine/Faculty of Medicine, Osaka 565-0871, Japan
Nectins are Ca2+-independent immunoglobulin-like cell-cell adhesion molecules that form homo- and hetero-trans-dimers (trans-interactions). Nectins first form cell-cell contact and then recruit cadherins to the nectin-based cell-cell contact sites to form adherens junctions cooperatively with cadherins. In addition, the trans-interactions of nectins induce the activation of Cdc42 and Rac small G proteins, which enhances the formation of adherens junctions by forming filopodia and lamellipodia, respectively. The trans-interactions of nectins first recruit and activate c-Src at the nectin-based cell-cell contact sites. c-Src then phosphorylates and activates FRG, a Cdc42-GDP/GTP exchange factor (GEF) for Cdc42. The activation of both c-Src and Cdc42 by FRG is necessary for the activation of Rac, but the Rac-GEF responsible for this activation of Rac remains unknown. We showed here that the nectin-induced activation of Rac was inhibited by a dominant negative mutant of Vav2, a Rac-GEF. Nectins recruited and tyrosine-phosphorylated Vav2 through c-Src at the nectin-based cell-cell contact sites, whereas Cdc42 was not necessary for the nectin-induced recruitment of Vav2 or the nectin-induced, c-Src-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of Vav2. Cdc42 activated through c-Src then enhanced the GEF activity of tyrosine-phosphorylated Vav2 on Rac1. These results indicate that Vav2 is a GEF responsible for the nectin-induced, c-Src-, and Cdc42-mediated activation of Rac.
