ABSTRACT

Plating suspended Swiss 3T3 cells onto fibronectin-coated dishes promoted phosphorylation of endogenous focal adhesion kinase (FAK) at Tyr-397, the major autophosphorylation site, and at Tyr-577, located in the activation loop, as revealed by site-specific antibodies that recognize the phosphorylated form of these residues. Treatment with the selective Src family kinase inhibitor pyrazolopyrimidine 2 (PP-2) markedly reduced the phosphorylation of both Tyr-397 and Tyr-577 induced by fibronectin. Furthermore, fibronectin-mediated FAK phosphorylation at Tyr-397 was dramatically reduced in SYF cells (deficient in Src, Yes, and Fyn expression). Stimulation of Swiss 3T3 cells with bombesin also induced a rapid increase in the phosphorylation of endogenous FAK at Tyr-397. In contrast to the results obtained with fibronectin, PP-2 did not prevent FAK Tyr-397 phosphorylation stimulated by bombesin at a concentration (10 μm) that suppressed bombesin-induced FAK Tyr-577 phosphorylation. Similarly, PP-2 did not prevent Tyr-397 phosphorylation in Swiss 3T3 cells stimulated with other G protein-coupled receptor agonists including vasopressin, bradykinin, endothelin, and lysophosphatidic acid. Lysophosphatidic acid also induced FAK phosphorylation at Tyr-397 in SYF cells. Our results identify, for first time, the existence of Src-dependent and Src-independent pathways leading to FAK autophosphorylation at Tyr-397 stimulated by adhesion-dependent signals and G protein-coupled receptor agonists in the same cell.
