The G alpha q/11 Proteins Contribute to T Lymphocyte Migration by Promoting Turnover of Integrin LFA-1 through Recycling

Svensson, Lena M LU ; Stanley, Paula ; Willenbrock, Frances and Hogg, Nancy (2012) In PLoS ONE 7(6).
Abstract
The role of G alpha i proteins coupled to chemokine receptors in directed migration of immune cells is well understood. In this study we show that the separate class of G alpha q/11 proteins is required for the underlying ability of T cells to migrate both randomly and in a directed chemokine-dependent manner. Interfering with G alpha q or G alpha 11 using dominant negative cDNA constructs or siRNA for G alpha q causes accumulation of LFA-1 adhesions and stalled migration. G alpha q/11 has an impact on LFA-1 expression at plasma membrane level and also on its internalization. Additionally G alpha q co-localizes with LFA-1- and EEA1-expressing intracellular vesicles and partially with Rap1- but not Rab11-expressing vesicles. However the... (More)

G alpha q/11 has an impact on LFA-1 expression at plasma membrane level and also on its internalization. Additionally G alpha q co-localizes with LFA-1- and EEA1-expressing intracellular vesicles and partially with Rap1- but not Rab11-expressing vesicles. However the influence of G alpha q is not confined to the vesicles that express it, as its reduction alters intracellular trafficking of other vesicles involved in recycling. In summary vesicle-associated G alpha q/11 is required for the turnover of LFA-1 adhesion that is necessary for migration. These G proteins participate directly in the initial phase of recycling and this has an impact on later stages of the endo-exocytic pathway. (Less)
