E-cadherin is a key cell-cell adhesion molecule at adherens junctions (AJs) and undergoes endocytosis when AJs are disrupted by the action of an extracellular signal, such as hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/scatter factor. Rab5 small G protein has been implicated in the HGF-induced endocytosis of E-cadherin, but the molecular mechanism for the regulation of Rab5 activity remains unknown. We first studied this mechanism by using the cell-free assay system for the endocytosis of E-cadherin of the AJ-enriched fraction from rat livers. HGF induced activation of Ras small G protein, which then bound to RIN2, a Rab5 GDP/GTP exchange factor with the Vps9p-like guanine nucleotide exchange factor and Ras association domains, and activated it. Activated RIN2 then activated Rab5, eventually inducing the endocytosis of E-cadherin. We then studied whether RIN2 was involved in the HGF-induced endocytosis of E-cadherin in intact Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. RIN2 localized at the cell-cell adhesion sites, and its guanine nucleotide exchange factor activity was required for the HGF-induced endocytosis of E-cadherin in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. These results indicate that RIN2 connects Ras to Rab5 in the HGF-induced endocytosis of E-cadherin.
