Abstract
The WAVE regulatory complex (WRC) is involved in various cellular processes by regulating actin polymerization. The dysregulation of WRC components is associated with cancer development. ABI family member 3 (ABI3)/new molecule including SH3 (NESH) is one of the WRC components and it has been reported that ABI3 phosphorylation can affect WRC function. Although several residues of ABI3 have been reported to be possible phosphorylation sites, it is still unclear which residues are important for the function of ABI3. Furthermore, it is unclear how the phosphorylated form of ABI3 is regulated. Here, we demonstrate that ABI3 is stabilized by its interaction with human leukocyte antigen-F adjacent transcript 10 (FAT10). Using phospho-dead or phospho-mimetic mutants of ABI3, we showed that serine 213 and 216 are important phosphorylation sites of ABI3. In particular, FAT10 has a higher affinity for the phosphorylated form of ABI3 than the non-phosphorylated form, and it stabilizes the phosphorylated form more than the non-phosphorylated form through this differential affinity. The interaction between FAT10 and the phosphorylated form of ABI3 promoted cancer cell migration. Therefore, our results suggest that FAT10 stabilizes the phosphorylated form of ABI3, which may lead to WRC activation, thereby promoting cancer cell migration.
