The Abl/Abi signaling links WAVE regulatory complex to Cbl E3 ubiquitin ligase and is essential for breast cancer cell metastasis.
The family of Abelson interactor (Abi) proteins is a component of WAVE regulatory complex (WRC) and a downstream target of Abelson (Abl) tyrosine kinase. The fact that Abi proteins also interact with diverse membrane proteins and intracellular signaling molecules places these proteins at a central position in the network that controls cytoskeletal functions and cancer cell metastasis. Here, we identified a motif in Abi proteins that conforms to consensus sequences found in a cohort of receptor and non-receptor tyrosine kinases that bind to Cbl-tyrosine kinase binding domain. The phosphorylation of tyrosine 213 in this motif is essential for Abi degradation. Double knockout of c-Cbl and Cbl B in Bcr-Abl-transformed leukemic cells abolishes Abi1, Abi2, and WAVE2 degradation. Moreover, knockout of Abi1 reduces Src family kinase Lyn activation in Bcr-Abl-positive leukemic cells and promotes EGF-induced EGF receptor downregulation in breast cancer cells. Importantly, Abi1 depletion impeded breast cancer cell invasion in vitro and metastasis in mouse xenografts. Together, these studies uncover a novel mechanism by which the WRC and receptor/non-receptor tyrosine kinases are regulated and identify Abi1 as a potential therapeutic target for metastatic breast cancer.
