Abstract
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a key signaling molecule regulating cellular responses to integrin-mediated adhesion. Integrin engagement promotes FAK phosphorylation at multiple sites to achieve full FAK activation. Phosphorylation of FAK Tyr-397 creates a binding site for Src-family kinases, and phosphorylation of FAK Tyr-576/Tyr-577 in the kinase domain activation loop enhances catalytic activity. Using novel phosphospecific antibody reagents, we show that FAK activation loop phosphorylation is significantly elevated in cells expressing activated Src and is an early event following cell adhesion to fibronectin. In both cases, this regulation is largely dependent on Tyr-397. We also show that the FAK activation loop tyrosines are required for maximal Tyr-397 phosphorylation. Finally, immunostaining analyses revealed that tyrosine-phosphorylated forms of FAK are present in both newly forming and mature focal adhesions. Our findings support a model for reciprocal activation of FAK and Src-family kinases and suggest that FAK/Src signaling may occur during both focal adhesion assembly and turnover.
