    Abstract Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2) are related tyrosine kinases that have important cellular functions, primarily through regulation of the cytoskeleton. Recent studies have identified multiple molecular mechanisms that regulate cytoskeletal responses, and have provided important and exciting insights into how FAK and Pyk2 control cellular processes such as cell migration. Equally exciting are reports of novel and originally unanticipated functions of these kinases, providing the groundwork for future avenues of investigation. This Commentary summarizes some of these recent discoveries that are relevant to the control of biological responses of the cell.

    Abstract Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is an essential kinase that regulates developmental processes and functions in the pathology of human disease. An intramolecular autoinhibitory interaction between the FERM and catalytic domains is a major mechanism of regulation. Based upon structural studies, a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based FAK biosensor that discriminates between autoinhibited and active conformations of the kinase was developed. This biosensor was used to probe FAK conformational change in live cells and the mechanism of regulation. The biosensor demonstrates directly that FAK undergoes conformational change in vivo in response to activating stimuli. A conserved FERM domain basic patch is required for this conformational change and for interaction with a novel ligand for FAK, acidic phospholipids. Binding to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2)-containing phospholipid vesicles activated and induced conformational change in FAK in vitro, and alteration of PIP2 levels in vivo changed the level of activation of the conformational biosensor. These findings provide direct evidence of conformational regulation of FAK in living cells and novel insight into the mechanism regulating FAK conformation.

    Abstract Heat shock protein (Hsp) 90 is a molecular chaperone that maintains the active conformation and function of numerous client oncoproteins in cancer cells. Hsp90 has also been detected on the plasma membrane of cells, and its expression has been suggested to correlate with metastatic potential. We studied the PC3 cell line, which is a highly invasive human prostate cancer cell line, and confirmed that Hsp90 is present on the cell surface of PC3 cells. Interestingly, cell surface Hsp90 was also specifically localized at the leading edge of migrating cells. By using a specific antibody that inhibited cell surface Hsp90, adhesion and invasion of PC3 cells were significantly suppressed in vitro. Concomitantly with these findings, we demonstrated that the inhibition of cell surface Hsp90 not only inhibited the FN-dependent association between FAK, c-Src and integrin β1, but also significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of FAK and c-Src, as well as their downstream targets paxillin and p130Cas. Additionally, the Hsp90 antibody reversed cell invasion stimulated by overexpression of FAK. These data indicate that cell surface Hsp90 is involved in prostate cancer cell invasion through the integrin β1/FAK/c-Src signaling pathway. Our study provides new insights into the mechanisms of cell surface Hsp90 in cancer invasion. These results suggest that molecular targeting of cell surface Hsp90 may therefore be a novel target for the effective treatment of metastatic prostate cancer.
