Abstract

Synaptojanin 2 (SYNJ2) is a phosphatidylinositol (PI) phosphatase that controls two distinct functions, clathrin-mediated endocytosis and tumor cell invadopodia formation and invasion. Here, we identify a number of novel SYNJ2 binding partners, several of which have previously been shown to be necessary for invadopodia formation or clathrin-mediated endocytosis. We focus on Src family kinases. We found that Src phosphorylates SYNJ2 on Tyr ( 490) , thereby stimulating SYNJ2 5'-phosphatase activity in vitro. We also provide evidence that Src-mediated phosphorylation of SYNJ2 contributes to invadopodia formation.
