Here we demonstrate an interaction between neural precursor cell expressed, developmentally-downregulated 9 (NEDD9) and the cytoskeletal proteins vimentin and non-muscle myosin IIA (NMIIA), based on co-immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometric sequence identification. Vimentin was constitutively phosphorylated at Ser56 but vimentin associated with NEDD9-was not phosphorylated at Ser56. In contrast, NMIIA bound to NEDD9 was phosphorylated on S1943 consistent with its function in invasion and secretion. Treatment of cells with the vimentin-targeting steroidal lactone withaferin A had no effect on vimentin turnover as previously reported, instead causing NEDD9 cleavage and cell death. The NMIIA-selective inhibitor blebbistatin induced cells to form long extensions and attenuated secretion of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) 2 and 9. While the site of vimentin interaction on NEDD9 was not defined, NMIIA was found to interact with NEDD9 at its substrate domain. NEDD9 interactions with vimentin and NMIIA are consistent with these proteins having roles in MMP secretion and cell invasion. These findings suggest that a better understanding of NEDD9 signaling is likely to reveal novel therapeutic targets for the prevention of invasion and metastasis.
