Members of the vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) family are important regulators of actin cytoskeletal dynamics whose functions and protein-protein interactions are regulated by phosphorylation by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). Herein, we show that phosphorylation of VASP is dynamically regulated by cellular adhesion to extracellular matrix. Detachment of cells stimulated PKA activity and induced PKA-dependent phosphorylation of VASP and the related murine-Enabled (Mena) protein. VASP and Mena were rapidly dephosphorylated immediately following reattachment but showed an intermediate level of phosphorylation during active cell spreading. This pattern correlated closely with adhesion-dependent changes in PKA activity. The in vivo interaction of VASP with the Abl tyrosine kinase, shown here for the first time, was readily apparent in adherent cells, lost following cellular detachment, and induced upon reattachment to matrix. Importantly, inhibition of PKA activity prevented phosphorylation of VASP and dissociation of VASP-Abl complexes after cellular detachment, whereas activation of PKA completely eliminated the co-immunoprecipitation of Abl activity with VASP. These data establish a new biochemical link between cell adhesion and regulation of VASP proteins and provide the first demonstration of a regulated interaction between VASP and Abl in mammalian cells.
