Integrins play a pivotal role in self-regulated hematopoietic adhesion and migration. Leukocyte
V
3 integrin-mediated adhesion to vitronectin requires protein kinase C activation and phosphorylation on tyrosine 747 of the
3 cytoplasmic tail. We have previously shown that
3 phosphorylation is required for Rho activation. In this study, an antibody specific to phosphorylated
3 tyrosine 747 was used to localize phosphorylated
V
3 in vitronectin adhesive structures. Early adhesion contacts containing phosphorylated
3 preceded actin stress fiber formation.
3 phosphorylation decreased progressively throughout the course of adhesion coincident with the appearance of actin stress fibers. Time-dependent increases in colocalization of
3 with tyrosine 402 phosphorylated Pyk2 in similar adhesive structures was observed, providing evidence for downstream signaling complex formation. Surprisingly, Arp3 organized into similar adhesion contacts in cells expressing wild-type
3 but not in those expressing a nonphosphorylatable mutant of
3, suggesting that
3 phosphorylation is required for sequestration of Arp3 to adhesion complexes. Suppression of actin stress fiber formation by an inhibitor to Rho kinase disrupted Arp3 organization while prolonging
3 phosphorylation throughout the adhesion time course. These data confirm a requirement for
3 phosphorylation in
V
3-mediated adhesion to vitronectin and suggest that
3 phosphorylation permits signaling complex assembly at the adhesion site necessary for actin stress fiber formation in leukocytes.
