Role for Plastin in Host Defense Distinguishes Integrin Signaling from Cell Adhesion and Spreading

Abstract: Integrin ligation activates both cell adhesion and signal transduction, in part through reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. Plastins (also known as fimbrins) are actin-crosslinking proteins of the cortical cytoskeleton present in all cells and conserved from yeast to mammals. Here we show that plastin-deficient polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) are deficient in killing the bacterial pathogen Staphylococcus aureus in vivo and in vitro, despite normal phagocytosis. Like integrin beta2-deficient PMN, plas… Show more

“…However, the role of integrin signaling in the maturation of the sealing ring has not been studied well. Phosphorylation of L-plastin on serine residues is associated with the integrin activation (65). Localization of integrin ␣v␤3 (Fig.…”

“…Coronin-1A is localized to phagocytic vacuoles of neutrophils where the actin cytoskeleton mediates both phagocytic killing and binds p40 phox to activate NADPH oxidase driven production of superoxide. This latter process is also plastin mediated (96,100,101). Plastins further participate in cell invasion by the intracellular pathogens Salmonella and Shigella (100).…”

“…In line with this, in PMN derived from an L-plastin knock-out mouse, phosphorylation of paxillin and Syk upon adhesion to a polyRGDcoated surface were reduced. 44 Both proteins are known to be involved in actin cytoskeleton remodeling at adhesion sites.…”
