Here, we present evidence that IQGAP1 stimulates branched actin filament assembly, which provides the force for lamellipodial protrusion, and that this function of IQGAP1 is regulated by binding of type 2 fibroblast growth factor (FGF2) to a cognate receptor, FGFR1. Stimulation of serum-starved MDBK cells with FGF2 promoted IQGAP1-dependent lamellipodial protrusion and cell migration, and intracellular associations of IQGAP1 with FGFR1 \u2013 and two other factors \u2013 the Arp2\/3 complex and its activator N-WASP, that coordinately promote nucleation of branched actin filament networks. FGF2 also induced recruitment of IQGAP1, FGFR1, N-WASP and Arp2\/3 complex to lamellipodia. N-WASP was also required for FGF2-stimulated migration of MDBK cells. In vitro, IQGAP1 bound directly to the cytoplasmic tail of FGFR1 and to N-WASP, and stimulated branched actin filament nucleation in the presence of N-WASP and the Arp2\/3 complex. Based on these observations, we conclude that IQGAP1 links FGF2 signaling to Arp2\/3 complex-dependent actin assembly by serving as a binding partner for FGFR1 and as an activator of N-WASP.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1242\/jcs.03376","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,2]],"date-time":"2007-02-02T19:31:22Z","timestamp":1170444682000},"page":"658-669","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":123,"title":["IQGAP1 regulates cell motility by linking growth factor signaling to actin assembly"],"prefix":"10.1242","volume":"120","author":[{"given":"Lorena B.","family":"Bensen\u0303or","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Biology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ho-Man","family":"Kan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Biology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ningning","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cell Biology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Horst","family":"Wallrabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Biology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lance A.","family":"Davidson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioengineering, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15261, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Cai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Biology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dorothy A.","family":"Schafer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Biology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904, USA"},{"name":"Cell Biology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"George S.","family":"Bloom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Biology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904, USA"},{"name":"Cell Biology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"237","reference":[{"key":"2021042520041309400_REF1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bashour, A.-M., Fullerton, A.
