Nectin is a Ca2+-independent Ig-like cell-cell adhesion molecule that forms homo- and hetero-trans-dimers (trans- interaction). Nectin first forms cell-cell adhesions and then recruits cadherin to the nectin-based cell-cell adhesion sites to form AJ cooperatively with cadherin. in addition, the trans-interaction of nectin and nectin induces the activation of Cdc42 and Rac small G proteins, which enhances the formation of AJ. The activation of Cdc42 and Rac by the trans-interaction of nectin and nectin is mediated by c-Src, another small G protein, Rap1, a Cdc42-GEF, FRG, and a Rac-GEF, Vav2. Necl-5/Tage4/PVR/CD155 is another Ca2+-independent Ig-like molecule, which does not homophilically trans-interact, but heterophilically trans-interacts with nectin-3, one member of the nectin family. We show here that the trans-interaction of Necl-5 and nectin-3 bidirectionally induces the activation of Cdc42 and Rac. Similarly to the activation of Cdc42 and Rac by the trans- interaction of nectin and nectin, the trans- interaction of Necl-5 and nectin-3 first recruits and activates c-Src at the Necl-5/nectin-3-based cell-cell contact sites. c-Src then phosphorylates FRG and Vav2, and the tyrosine-phosphorylated FRG and Vav2 are recruited to the Necl-5/nectin3-based cell-cell contact sites. The trans-interaction of Necks and nectin-3 also activates Rap1 through C3G, a Rap-GEF, and this activation of Rap1 is required for the activation of Cdc42 and Rac. These results indicate that the trans-interactions of Necl-5 and nectin-3 and of nectin and nectin induce the activation of Cdc42 and Rac through the common signaling molecules c-Src, Rap1, FRG, and Vav2.
