The adaptor protein Nck1 mediates endothelin A receptor-regulated cell migration through the Cdc42-dependent c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway.
Journal of Biological Chemistry 2004 August 14
Cell migration plays key roles in physiological and pathological phenomena, such as development and oncogenesis. The adaptor proteins Grb2, CrkII, and Nck1 are composed of only a single Src homology 2 domain and some Src homology 3 domains, giving specificity to each signal transduction pathway. However, little is known about the relationships between their adaptor proteins and cell migration, which are regulated by the G protein-coupled receptor. Here we showed that Nck1, but not Grb2 or CrkII, mediated the inhibition of cell migration induced by the endothelin-1 and endothelin A receptor. The small interference RNA and dominant negative mutants of Nck1 diminished the endothelin-1-induced inhibition of cell migration. Although overexpression of wild-type Nck1 was detected in the cytosol and did not affect cell migration, expression of the myristoylation signal sequence-conjugated Nck1 was detected in the membrane and induced activation of Cdc42 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase, inhibiting cell migration. Taken together, these results suggest that the endothelin A receptor transduces the signal of inhibition of cell migration through Cdc42-dependent c-Jun N-terminal kinase activation by using Nck1.
