Abstract
BACKGROUND Metastasis accounts for the majority of cancer-related deaths. Actin dynamics and actin-based cell migration and invasion are important factors in cancer metastasis. Metastasis is characterized by actin polymerization and depolymerization, which are precisely regulated by molecular changes involving a plethora of actin regulators, including actin-binding proteins (ABPs) and signalling pathways, that enable cancer cell dissemination from the primary tumour. Research on deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) has revealed their vital roles in actin dynamics and actin-based migration and invasion during cancer metastasis. CONCLUSION Here, we review how DUBs drive tumour metastasis by participating in actin rearrangement and actin-based migration and invasion. We summarize the well-characterized and essential actin cytoskeleton signalling molecules related to DUBs, including Rho GTPases, Src kinases, and ABPs such as cofilin and cortactin. Other DUBs that modulate actin-based migration signalling pathways are also discussed. Finally, we discuss and address therapeutic opportunities and ongoing challenges related to DUBs with respect to actin dynamics.

Abstract
A myriad of transient, nanoscopic lipid- and protein-based interactions confer a steady-state organization of the plasma membrane in resting cells that is poised to orchestrate assembly of key signaling components upon reception of an extracellular stimulus. Although difficult to observe directly in live cells, these subtle interactions can be discerned by their impact on the diffusion of membrane constituents. Here, we quantified the diffusion properties of a panel of structurally distinct lipid, lipid-anchored, and transmembrane (TM) probes in RBL mast cells by imaging fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (ImFCS). We developed a statistical analysis of data combined from many pixels over multiple cells to characterize differences in diffusion coefficients as small as 10%, which reflect differences in underlying interactions. We found that the distinctive diffusion properties of lipid probes can be explained by their dynamic partitioning into Lo-like proteolipid nanodomains, which encompass a major fraction of the membrane and whose physical properties are influenced by actin polymerization. Effects on diffusion of functional protein modules in both lipid-anchored and TM probes reflect additional complexity in steady state membrane organization. The contrast we observe between different probes diffusing through the same membrane milieu represents the dynamic resting steady state, which serves as a baseline for monitoring plasma membrane remodeling that occurs upon stimulation.

Roles for SH2 and SH3 domains in Lyn kinase association with activated FcepsilonRI in RBL mast cells revealed by patterned surface analysis. J Struct Biol 2009; 168:161-7.

Abstract
In mast cells, antigen-mediated cross-linking of IgE bound to its high-affinity surface receptor, FcepsilonRI, initiates a signaling cascade that culminates in degranulation and release of allergic mediators. Antigen-patterned surfaces, in which the antigen is deposited in micron-sized features on a silicon substrate, were used to examine the spatial relationship between clustered IgE-FcepsilonRI complexes and Lyn, the signal-initiating tyrosine kinase. RBL mast cells expressing wild-type Lyn-EGFP showed co-redistribution of this protein with clustered IgE receptors on antigen-patterned surfaces, whereas Lyn-EGFP containing an inhibitory point mutation in its SH2 domain did not significantly accumulate with the patterned antigen, and Lyn-EGFP with an inhibitory point mutation in its SH3 domain exhibited reduced interactions. Our results using antigen-patterned surfaces and quantitative cross-correlation image analysis reveal that both the SH2 and SH3 domains contribute to interactions between Lyn kinase and cross-linked IgE receptors in stimulated mast cells.

Abstract
Patterned surfaces that present specific ligands in spatially defined arrays are used to examine structural linkages between clustered IgE receptors (IgE-Fc epsilonRI) and the cytoskeleton in rat basophilic leukemia (RBL) mast cells. We showed with fluorescence microscopy that cytoskeletal F-actin concentrates in the same regions as cell surface IgE-Fc epsilonRI that bind to the micrometer-size patterned ligands. However, the proteins mediating these cytoskeletal connections and their functional relevance were not known. We now show that whereas the adaptor proteins ezrin and moesin do not detectably concentrate with the array of clustered IgE-Fc epsilonRI, focal adhesion proteins vinculin, paxillin, and talin, which are known to link F-actin with integrins, accumulate in these regions on the same time scale as F-actin. Moreover, colocalization of these focal adhesion proteins with clustered IgE-Fc epsilonRI is enhanced after addition of fibronectin-RGD peptides. Significantly, the most prominent rat basophilic leukemia cell integrin (alpha5) avoids the patterned regions occupied by the ligands and associates preferentially with exposed regions of the silicon substrate. Thus, spatial separation provided by the patterned surface reveals that particular focal adhesion proteins, which connect to the actin cytoskeleton, associate with ligand-cross-linked IgE-Fc epsilonRI, independently of integrins. We investigated the functional role of one of these proteins, paxillin, in IgE-Fc epsilonRI-mediated signaling by using small interfering RNA. From these results, we determine that paxillin reduces stimulated phosphorylation of the Fc epsilonRI beta subunit but enhances stimulated Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores. The results suggest that paxillin associated with clustered IgE-Fc epsilonRI has a net positive effect on Fc epsilonRI signaling.

Abstract
Advances in microfabrication and nanofabrication are opening new opportunities to investigate complicated questions of cell biology in ways not before possible. In particular, the spatial regulation of cellular processes can be examined by engineering the chemical and physical environment to which the cell responds. Lithographic methods and selective chemical modification schemes can provide biocompatible surfaces that control cellular interactions on the micron and submicron scales on which cells are organized. Combined with fluorescence microscopy and other approaches of cell biology, a widely expanded toolbox is becoming available. This review illustrates the potential of these integrated engineering tools, with an emphasis on patterned surfaces, for investigating fundamental mechanisms of receptor-mediated signaling in cells. We highlight progress made with immune cells and in particular with the IgE receptor system, which has been valuable for developing technology to gain new information about spatial regulation in signaling events.

Abstract
Chinese hamster ovary fibroblasts previously transfected with the high affinity receptor for IgE (FcepsilonRI) were further transfected with the alpha subunit of the receptor for interleukin 2 (Tac) or with chimeric constructs in which the cytoplasmic domain of Tac was replaced with the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain of either the beta subunit or the gamma subunit of FcepsilonRI. Whereas native Tac failed to affect the aggregation-induced phosphorylation of FcepsilonRI, both chimeric constructs substantially inhibited this reaction. Alternatively, the FcepsilonRI-bearing fibroblasts were transfected with two chimeric constructs in which the cytoplasmic domain of Tac was replaced with a modified short form of Lyn kinase. The Lyn in both of the chimeric constructs had been mutated to remove the sites that are normally myristoylated and palmitoylated, respectively; one of the constructs had in addition been altered to be catalytically inactive. The catalytically active construct enhanced, and the inactive construct inhibited, aggregation-induced phosphorylation of the receptors. All of the chimeric constructs were largely distributed outside the detergent resistant microdomains, and whereas aggregation caused them to move to the domains in part, their aggregation was neither necessary nor enhanced their effects. These results and others indicate that the receptor and Lyn interact through protein-protein interactions that neither are dependent upon either the post-translational modification of the kinase with lipid moieties nor result exclusively from their co-localization in specialized membrane domains.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating neurological disorder characterized by loss of cognitive skills and progressive dementia. The pathological hallmark of AD is the presence of numerous senile plaques throughout the hippocampus and cerebral cortex associated with degenerating axons, neurofibrillary tangles, and gliosis. The core of the senile plaque primarily is composed of the 39-43 amino acid beta-amyloid peptide (Abeta), which forms fibrils of beta-pleated sheets. Although considerable genetic evidence implicates Abeta in the pathogenesis of AD, a direct causal link remains to be established. Senile plaques are foci of local inflammatory processes, as evidenced by the presence of numerous activated microglia and acute phase proteins. Abeta has been shown to elicit inflammatory responses in microglia; however, the intracellular events mediating these effects are largely unknown. We report that exposure of microglia and THP1 monocytes to fibrillar Abeta led to time- and dose-dependent increases in protein tyrosine phosphorylation of a population of proteins similar to that elicited by classical immune stimuli such as immune complexes. The tyrosine kinases Lyn, Syk, and FAK were activated on exposure of microglia and THP1 monocytes to Abeta, resulting in the tyrosine kinase-dependent generation of superoxide radicals. The present data support a role for oxidative damage in the pathogenesis of AD, provide an important mechanistic link between Abeta and the generation of reactive oxygen intermediates, and identify molecular targets for therapeutic intervention in AD.

Abstract
We have identified a novel cytoplasmic protein, leupaxin, that is preferentially expressed in hematopoietic cells and is most homologous to the focal adhesion protein, paxillin. Leupaxin possesses two types of protein interaction domains. There are four carboxyl-terminal LIM domains in leupaxin that share 70% amino acid identity and 80% similarity with those in paxillin. Paxillin LIM domains mediate localization to focal contacts. In the amino-terminal region of leupaxin there are three short stretches of approximately 13 amino acids that share 70-90% similarity with paxillin LD motifs. Paxillin LD motifs have been implicated in focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and vinculin binding resulting in the localization of FAK to focal adhesions. Leupaxin is expressed in cell types, such as macrophage, that lack FAK. We demonstrate here that leupaxin associates with a second FAK family member, PYK2. As leupaxin and PYK2 are both preferentially expressed in leukocytes they may therefore form a cell type-specific signaling complex. We also demonstrate that leupaxin is a substrate for a tyrosine kinase in lymphoid cells and thus may function in and be regulated by tyrosine kinase activity. Leupaxin is thus a phosphotyrosine protein with LD and LIM binding motifs most homologous to paxillin that may assemble and regulate PYK2 signaling complexes in leukocytes.

Abstract
Expression of the polyoma virus middle T antigen in HL-60 cells accelerates their differentiation in response to both monocytic and granulocytic differentiation-inducing agents. Middle T-expressing cells treated with the granulocytic inducer retinoic acid or the monocytic inducer 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 differentiated 24 h earlier than parental, mock-electroporated, or vector control cell lines. The rapid onset of differentiation correlated with an increase in the cellular level of the middle T protein as well as two known retinoic-acid-inducible markers in HL-60 cells: the paxillin and transglutaminase gene products. The accelerated functional differentiation response and expression of retinoic-acid-inducible markers indicate that middle T played a causal role in differentiation. Thus, expression of the polyoma middle T antigen in HL-60 cells enhanced a variety of molecular changes associated with cellular differentiation.

Abstract
Aggregation of the high affinity receptor for IgE (FcepsilonRI) leads to the phosphorylation of tyrosines on the beta and gamma chains of the receptor by the Src family kinase Lyn. We have studied the interaction between Lyn and the FcepsilonRI in vivo using a transfection-based approach. FcepsilonRI were stably transfected into Chinese hamster ovary cells. The small amount of endogenous Src family kinase was sufficient to phosphorylate receptor tyrosines upon extensive aggregation of FcepsilonRI but not after addition of dimers of IgE. Upon stable co-transfection of Lyn kinase into the cells, dimers were now able to stimulate receptor phosphorylation and the response to more extensive aggregation was enhanced. In contrast, co-transfection with catalytically inactive Lyn inhibited the aggregation-induced phosphorylation by the endogenous kinase, and a quantitatively similar inhibition was observed in cells transfected with the SH4-containing unique domain of Lyn. Consistent with the results of others using alternative approaches, our additional studies using a yeast two-hybrid system detected a direct interaction between intact Lyn or its unique domain and the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain of the beta chain but not with the receptor's other cytoplasmic domains.

Abstract
One of the earliest events after aggregation of the high affinity receptor for IgE (FcepsilonRI) on mast cells is the activation of protein tyrosine kinases resulting in tyrosine phosphorylation of numerous proteins. Using a monoclonal antibody raised against the rat basophilic leukemia RBL-2H3 cells, we identified that platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 (PECAM-1 or CD31) was tyrosine phosphorylated in these cells. Aggregation of PECAM-1 did not induce a detectable increase in its tyrosine phosphorylation, nor did it result in degranulation. However, the minimal tyrosine phosphorylation of PECAM-1 in nonstimulated cells was dramatically increased after FcepsilonRI aggregation. This receptor-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of PECAM-1 was an early event, independent of Ca2+ influx or of the activation of protein kinase C and of cell adhesion. PECAM-1 is an adhesion molecule that is required for the transmigration of leukocytes across the endothelium into sites of inflammation. Therefore tyrosine phosphorylation of PECAM-1 may modulate its interaction with other molecules, thereby regulating the migration of basophils into inflammatory sites.

Abstract
Activation of rat mast cells through the receptor with high affinity for IgE (Fc epsilonRI) requires a complex set of interactions involving transmembrane subunits of the Fc epsilonRI and two classes of nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinase (PTK). the Src family PTK p53/p56(lyn) (Lyn) and the Syk/ZAP-family PTK p72(syk) (Syk). Early activation events involve increased activity of Lyn and Syk kinases and their translocation into membrane domains containing aggregated Fc epsilonRI, but the molecular mechanisms responsible for these changes have remained largely unclear. To determine the role of Fc epsilonRI subunits in this process, we have analyzed Syk- and Lyn-associated proteins in activated rat basophilic leukemia (RBL) cells and their variants deficient in the expression of Fc epsilonRI beta or gamma subunits. Sepharose 4B gel chromatography of postnuclear supernatants from Nonidet-P40-solubilized antigen (Ag)- or pervanadate-activated RBL cells revealed extensive changes in the size of complexes formed by Lyn and Syk kinases and other cellular components. A fusion protein containing Src homology 2 (SH2) and SH3 domains of Lyn bound Syk from lysates of nonactivated RBL cells; an increased binding was observed when lysates from Ag- or pervanadate-activated cells were used. A similar amount of Syk was bound when lysates from pervanadate-activated variant cells deficient in the expression of Fc epsilonRI beta or gamma subunits were used, suggesting that Fc epsilonRI does not function as the only intermediate in the formation of the Syk-Lyn complexes. Further experiments have indicated that Syk-Lyn interactions occur in Ag-activated RBL cells under in vivo conditions and that these interactions could involve direct binding of the Lyn SH2 domain with phosphorylated tyrosine of Syk. The physical association of Lyn and Syk during mast-like cell activation supports the recently proposed functional cooperation of these two tyrosine kinases in Fc epsilonRI signaling.

Abstract
Aggregation of the high affinity receptor for immunoglobulin E (Fc epsilon RI) on mast cells results in rapid tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of Syk, a cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase. To examine the role of Syk in the Fc epsilon RI signaling pathway, we identified a variant of RBL-2H3 cells that has no detectable Syk by immunoblotting and by in vitro kinase reactions. In these Syk-deficient TB1A2 cells, aggregation of Fc epsilon RI induced no histamine release and no detectable increase in total cellular protein tyrosine phosphorylation. However, stimulation of these cells with the calcium ionophore did induce degranulation. Fc epsilon RI aggregation induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the beta and gamma subunits of the receptor, but no increase in the tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gamma 1 and phospholipase C-gamma 2 and no detectable increase in intracellular free Ca2+ concentration. By transfection, cloned lines were established with stable expression of Syk. In these reconstituted cells, Fc epsilon RI aggregation induced tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gamma 1 and phospholipase C-gamma 2, an increase in intracellular free Ca2+ and histamine release. These results demonstrate that Syk plays a critical role in the early Fc epsilon RI-mediated signaling events. It further demonstrates that Syk activation occurs downstream of receptor phosphorylation, but upstream of most of the Fc epsilon RI-mediated protein tyrosine phosphorylations.

Abstract
The cellular function of the MARCKS family of protein kinase C substrates is unknown. In this report, we present evidence that indicates a role for MacMARCKS, a member of the MARCKS family, in the integrin-dependent signal transduction pathways in macrophages. Using a dominant negative mutant of MacMARCKS, we showed that MacMARCKS participates in several integrin-dependent macrophage functions, including the phorbol ester-stimulated macrophage spreading, a process involving multiple integrins. The dominant negative mutant also blocks macrophage spreading on immune complex-coated surfaces, a process again requiring beta2 integrin. More direct evidence of the role of MacMARCKS in the integrin-dependent pathway is the ablation of macrophage binding to complement iC3b-coated sheep erythrocytes by MacMARCKS mutant, suggesting an effect of this mutant on the avidity of complement receptor 3, a member of the beta2 integrin family. To further evaluate the possible mechanism of MacMARCKS function, the integrin-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin was examined. Concomitant with the inhibition of macrophage spreading and rosette formation, MacMARCKS mutant also inhibits integrin-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin. Furthermore, immunofluorescent microscopy data showed that MacMARCKS and paxillin colocalize in the membrane ruffles at the leading edge of the spreading cells, providing a potential site and opportunity for MacMARCKS to participate in the regulation of integrin-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin. Together, these data strongly suggest that MacMARCKS plays a role in integrin-dependent signal transduction pathways in macrophages.

Abstract
A critical event in signaling in immune cells is the interaction of Syk or ZAP-70 protein tyrosine kinases with multisubunit receptors that contain an approximately 18-amino-acid domain called the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM). Tyrosine-phosphorylated Syk from activated cells was in a conformation different from that in nonstimulated cells as demonstrated by changes in immunoreactivity. The addition of tyrosine-diphosphorylated ITAM peptides resulted in a similar conformational change in Syk from nonactivated cells. The peptides based on FcepsilonRIgamma were more active than those based on Fcepsilon RIbeta. In vitro autophosphorylation of Syk was dramatically enhanced by the addition of the diphosphorylated ITAM peptides. The conformational change and the enhanced autophosphorylation required the presence of both phosphorylated tyrosines on the same molecule. These conformational changes in Syk by tyrosine phosphorylation or binding to diphosphorylated ITAM could be critical for Syk activation and downstream propagation of intracellular signals.

Abstract
The cDNA encoding the rat equivalent of the human hematopoietic tyrosine phosphatase, also known as leukocyte phosphatase, was isolated from a rat basophilic leukemia mast cell cDNA library. By two-dimensional electrophoresis, the protein expressed in the mast cells was of a size (40 kDa) and pI (6.9) predicted from the deduced amino acid sequence. Thus, although previously shown to be preferentially expressed in T cells and B cells, the phosphatase is also found in mast cells. By immunofluorescence microscopy, rat hematopoietic tyrosine phosphatase localized to discrete, globular compartments within the cytoplasm and was not found either in the nucleus or associated with the cell surface membrane. Aggregation of high affinity IgE receptors in the mast cells induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the phosphatase. The tyrosine phosphorylation was mimicked by stimulation with calcium ionophore A23187 but not by direct activation of protein kinase C. Since phosphorylation of the phosphatase was dramatically reduced when the cells were activated in Ca(2+)-free media, it is dependent on a rise in intracellular Ca2+. These data strongly suggest that hematopoietic tyrosine phosphatase may be involved in the IgE receptor-mediated signaling cascade.

Abstract
Tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins is a mechanism of signalling for different receptors and is important for cell growth and differentiation. Mast cells and basophils are secretory cells that play a role in inflammatory and immediate allergic reactions. The activation/aggregation of different surface receptors on these cells induces tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins. Because these signals are essential for the function of basophils and mast cells, characterizing these pathways could provide methods to specifically regulate the function of these cells. Here we discuss the signals generated by three receptors: the high affinity IgE receptor (Fc epsilon RI) the growth factor receptor, Kit, and integrins.

Abstract
The focal adhesion kinase, pp125FAK, is a novel non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase expressed in different cells including mast cells. Here we report that a 77-kDa protein associates with pp125FAK in the mast cell analog, rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3) cells. When pp125FAK immunoprecipitates were subjected to an in vitro kinase assay, there was prominent phosphorylation on tyrosine of pp125FAK and of a 77-kDa protein. By V8 protease digestion mapping and by immunoblotting with two different anti-pp125FAK antibodies, the 77-kDa protein was distinct from pp125FAK. This Fak Associated Protein or FAP was detected in RBL-2H3 cells but not in fibroblasts. The aggregation of the high affinity IgE receptor, Fc epsilon RI, induced the in vivo tyrosine phosphorylation of FAP. However, there was a marked decrease in the in vitro phosphorylation of FAP in the immunoprecipitates from Fc epsilon RI aggregated cells. Both of these Fc epsilon RI-mediated effects were enhanced by cell adhesion. There was strong association of FAP with non-tyrosine-phosphorylated pp125FAK. Thus this interaction does not appear to be mediated by the Src homology 2 domain. Together the data indicate that FAP associates with pp125FAK and suggest that FAP may play a role in Fc epsilon RI signaling.

Abstract
The focal adhesion protein paxillin undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation in response to signals mediated by integrins, neuropeptides and oncogene products, possibly via activation of the focal adhesion-associated kinase, p125FAK. In the present work, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin in human neutrophils. Cell adhesion and participation of the beta 2 integrin CD18 were necessary, but not sufficient, for the response. Adherent neutrophils also tyrosine phosphorylated paxillin in response to phorbol ester, formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine and opsonized bacteria. In contrast, p125FAK was constitutively tyrosine phosphorylated in a manner unaffected by adherence and/or TNF. Thus, cytokines and microbial products are among the stimuli that can induce the tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin, and kinases other than p125FAK may be responsible. This is the first identification of paxillin and p125FAK in human cells and neutrophils, and one of the few identifications of a specific protein that undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation in response to any agonist in neutrophils or in response to TNF in any cell.
