IQSec1 promotes focal adhesion disassembly in MDA-MB-231 cells.

(A) Bright field images of control and IQSec1 depleted cells, Bar = 20 µm. (B) Control and IQSec1 depleted cells, fixed and stained for β1-integrin (green), FAK (red) and actin (blue), Bar = 10 µm. (C) Quantitation of FA size from control and IQSec1-depleted cells. Cells were fixed and stained for vinculin as a marker for FAs; N for control = 2487 and for IQSec1 KD = 1805 FAs were measured. 30 cells were analyzed per group, compiled from three independent experiments. (D) Quantitation of β1-integrin fluorescence in FAs from control and IQSec1 depleted cells. N for control = 1938 control and for IQSec1 KD = 827 FAs. 5 cells were analyzed per group. (E) Rescue of IQSec1 depletion by IQSec1 variants. FA disassembly rates were measured in MDA-MB-231 cells expressing GFP-paxillin (See Videos 1 and 2). Cells were depleted of endogenous IQSec1 using a hairpin directed against a sequence shared by all isoforms, then transfected with constructs encoding each individual isoform, engineered to lack the shRNA target sequence. E606K is a catalytically inactive mutant of isoform C (NP_001127854.1). Both NP_001127854.1 and NP_001317548.1 (red arrows) increase FA turnover, although the rescue never reaches control levels. Both NP_055684.3 and NP_001317548.1 are similar to the catalytically inactive E606K mutant and do not rescue. N for control = 1280, IQSec1 KD = 1150, IQSec1 KD+ WT Rescue NP_001127854.1 = 817, IQSec1 KD+ Rescue E606K = 602, IQSec1 KD + Rescue NP_055684.3 = 336, IQSec1 KD + Rescue NP_001317548.1 = 447, IQSec1 KD + Rescue NP_001317548.1 = 561 FAs. Data were collected from 20 control and 20 IQSec1-KD cells and 12 cells per group for others. Data were compiled from three independent experiments. (F) FA assembly rates in cells expressing GFP-paxillin. N for control = 689 and for IQSec1 KD = 763 FAs. Data were collected from 12 cells per group spanning three independent experiments. (G) Migration of control or IQSec1-depleted cells through a matrigel plug. Migration was measured as described in Methods. Data were compiled from three independent experiments, each done in triplicate. (H) Migration of cells out of tumor spheroids embedded in collagen gels. Stills from time lapse movies of tumor spheroids cultured in 3D collagen gels, imaged for 18 hr. Bar = 100 µm. (I) Quantitation of cell migration out of spheroids after 18 hr. Measurement details are described in Methods. Data were collected from 12 spheroids from each group. ‘*’ indicates p<0.05, ‘**’ indicates p<0.001, and ‘***’ indicates p<0.0001. The same annotation is used in all following figures.

IQSec1 splice variants, expression in MDA-MB-231 cells and knockdown efficiency.

(A) Domain organization of IQSec1 splice variants. Red arrow indicates splice variants experimentally validated by RT-PCR analysis to be present in MDA-MB-231 cells. Note the approximate molecular weight of isoform A (NP_001127854.1) is 122 kDa, isoform X5 (XP_011532610.1) is 124 kDa and isoform C (NP_001317548) is 91 kDa. Note that the NCBI protein database also reports three variants XP_011532613.1, XP_011532614.1 and XP_011532615.1 which are identical in protein sequence to XP_011532616.1, and XP_024309614.1, which has an identical sequence to NP_001317548.1, shown in this figure. (B) Knockdown efficiency of IQSec1 isoforms. MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with shRNA targeting a region common to all splice variants of IQSec1. Endogenous IQSec1 was immunoprecipitated from cell lysates and immunoprecipitates were probed using the same antibody (see Methods). Note the loss of protein corresponding to approximate molecular weights of 125 and 100 kDa. The band marked as ‘*’ appears to be a non-specific product. (C) Quantitation of IQSec1 mRNA using real time qPCR. (D) Quantitation of FA size from control and IQSec1-depleted HT1080 cells, fixed and stained for vinculin as a marker for FAs. N for control = 733 FAs, IQSec1 KD hairpin1 = 816, IQSec1 KD-hairpin2 = 822. 10 cells were analyzed per group.

(B) Expression of rapid cycling Arf5, but not Arf6 or Arf1, enhances adhesion turnover in IQSec1-depleted cells. IQSec1-depleted cells were co-transfected with plasmids encoding GFP-paxillin and rapid cycling (RC) mutants of Arf6, Arf5 or Arf1. N for control = 1203, IQSec1 KD = 670, IQSec1 KD + Arf5 RC = 1087, IQSec1 KD + Arf6 RC = 612, IQSec1 KD + Arf1 RC = 798 FAs.

N for control = 733 and for Arf5 KD = 1101 from 10 cells (F) Quantitation of β1-integrin fluorescence in FA from control (586 FAs) and Arf5-depleted (511 FAs) cells. A total of 5 cells were analyzed per group. (G) Depletion of Arf5 slows adhesion disassembly. FA disassembly rates were measured in MDA-MB 231 cells expressing GFP-paxillin. N for control = 483 and Arf5 KD = 242 focal adhesions. 10 cells were analyzed per group. (H) Recruitment of STIM1 to ER/PM contacts requires neither IQSec1 nor Arf5. mCherry-STIM1 was expressed in control, IQSec1-depleted or Arf5-depleted cells. Cells were then imaged live before and after thapsigargin (1 µM) treatment for 10 min. Representative stills in (H) show a robust recruitment of STIM1 after thapsigargin (T) treatment (Bar = 10 µm), quantified in (I). Data in (H) represent the percentage of STIM1 puncta making contact with the PM after thapsigargin treatment, normalized to amount of pre-existing PM STIM1 before thapsigargin treatment. Data were collected from 15 cells per group.

(A–F) MDA-MB-231 cells expressing the PI4P probe GFP-P4M2X and either mCherry alone (A) mCherry-ORP3 (C) or mCherry-ORP31-555 (E) were imaged live. Images show stills before (Frame 1) and after (Frame 75) treatment with thapsigargin (1 µM) for 30 mins. The changes in PM fluorescence for GFP-P4M2X (red) or mCherry (blue) were quantified and presented in (B), (D) and (F) respectively. Data were compiled from 20 regions of interest from three independent experiments. (G) Cells were treated with GSK-A1 to deplete PM PI4P and focal adhesion size was measured in control (695 FAs) and GSK-A1 treated cells (1019 FAs). Data were collected from 30 cells per group, spanning three experiments. For corresponding images refer to Figure S7A. (H) Quantification of cell migration out of spheroids from control and GSK-A1-treated cells after 22 hr in 3D collagen gels. Data were collected from six spheroids for each group. (I) Quantification of lipids precipitated with unfused GFP (green) or GFP-ORP3 before (red) and after (blue) thapsigargin treatment. (J) FA disassembly rates in cells expressing GFP-paxillin. ORP3 depleted cells were transfected with constructs encoding WT ORP3 or mutants lacking the FFAT motifs (∆FFAT) or the ORD domain (∆ORD). FA turnover was measured as described in Figure 1. N for control = 828, ORP3 KD = 1504, ORP3 KD+ Rescue WT = 677, ORP3 KD+ Rescue ∆FFAT = 792, ORP3 KD+ Rescue ∆ORD = 657 focal adhesions. Data were compiled from 15 cells per group spanning three independent experiments. Note that the disassembly rates for ORP3 KD+ Rescue WT are significantly higher than ORP3 KD and reach control level compared to WT ORP3 KD+ Rescue ∆ORD that significantly rescues over ORP3 KD but is not as efficient as WT ORP3. (K) FA disassembly rates were measured in ORP3 depleted cells expressing the rapid cycling T161A mutant of Arf5. N for control = 564, ORP3 KD = 551, ORP3 KD + ARF5 RC = 467. Data were compiled from 15 cells per group spanning three independent experiments.

Figure 7—figure supplement 1
Model summarizing the finding of this study.

Calcium influx via STIM1/Orai1 channels adjacent to focal adhesions at the trailing edge stimulates PKC-dependent phosphorylation of ORP3, exposing its interaction sites. The PH domain binds PI(4,5)P2 at the PM, while the central FFAT motifs bind ER-anchored VAP-A (and/or VAP-B), bringing the two membranes into close proximity and allowing lipid exchange. PC is transferred to the PM in exchange for PI4P, which is transferred to the ER. ORP3 interaction with IQSec1 stimulates its catalytic activity, leading to increased Arf5 activation at the PM. The combined activities of ORP3 and IQSec1/Arf5 are essential for efficient focal adhesion turnover.

Thapsigargin was added 2.5 min after the start of the movie. Bar = 10 µm. Note that PM PI4P levels remain unchanged after addition of thapsigargin (quantified in Figure 7B).

Video 7
MDA-MB-231 cell expressing GFP-P4M2X and mCherry-ORP3 was imaged live for 30 min at a rate of 1 frame every 15 s.

Thapsigargin was added 2.5 min after the start of the movie. Notice the loss of GFP-P4M2X from the PM with the concomitant recruitment of mCherry-ORP3 (quantified in Figure 7D). The reduction in overall probe intensity is presumably due to transfer of PI4P to the ER, where it is dephosphorylated by Sac1. The probe is redistributed from the PM to what are presumably endosomes. Bar = 10 µm.
