Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) activity and Ca(2+) signaling led to a turnover of
focal adhesions (FAs) required for cell spreading and migration. We used yellow
Cameleon-2 (Ycam), a fluorescent protein-based Ca(2+) sensor fused to FAK or to a
FAK-related non-kinase domain, to measure simultaneously local Ca(2+) variations
at FA sites and FA dynamics. Discrete subcellular Ca(2+) oscillators initiate
both propagating and abortive Ca(2+) waves in migrating U87 astrocytoma cells.
Ca(2+)-dependent FA disassembly occurs when the Ca(2+) wave reaches individual
FAs, indicating that local but not global Ca(2+) increases trigger FA
disassembly. An unexpectedly rapid flux of FAK between cytosolic and FA
compartments was revealed by fluorescence recovery after photobleaching studies.
The FAK-Ycam recovery half-time (17 s) at FAs was slowed (to 29 s) by Ca(2+)
elevation. FAK-related non-kinase domain-Ycam had a faster, Ca(2+)-insensitive
recovery half-time (11 s), which is consistent with the effect of Ca(2+) on
FAK-Ycam dynamics not being due to a general modification of the dynamics of FA
components. Because FAK association at FAs was prolonged by Ca(2+) and FAK
autophosphorylation was correlated to intracellular Ca(2+) levels, we propose
that local Ca(2+) elevations increase the residency of FAK at FAs, possibly by
means of tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK, thereby leading to increased activation
of its effectors involved in FA disassembly.
