Cell migration is central in physiological and pathological conditions such as immune response and cancer metastasis. The excitable network hypothesis can account for recent observations of propagating waves of signal transduction and cytoskeleton events as well as behaviors of migrating cells. However, the molecular feedback loops involved in these networks that bring about excitability are poorly understood. Here, we provide evidence for a positive-feedback loop based on a mutual inhibitory interaction between Ras and phosphatidylinositol (3,4)-bisphosphate [PI(3,4)P2]. Our results uncover an important role of PI(3,4)P2 in the regulation of Ras activity, which may extend well beyond cell migration. Signal transduction and cytoskeleton networks in a wide variety of cells display excitability, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we show that during random migration and in response to chemoattractants, cells maintain complementary spatial and temporal distributions of Ras activity and phosphatidylinositol (3,4)-bisphosphate [PI(3,4)P2]. In addition, depletion of PI(3,4)P2 by disruption of the 5-phosphatase, Dd5P4, or by recruitment of 4-phosphatase INPP4B to the plasma membrane, leads to elevated Ras activity, cell spreading, and altered migratory behavior. Furthermore, RasGAP2 and RapGAP3 bind to PI(3,4)P2, and the phenotypes of cells lacking these genes mimic those with low PI(3,4)P2 levels, providing a molecular mechanism. These findings suggest that Ras activity drives PI(3,4)P2 down, causing the PI(3,4)P2-binding GAPs to dissociate from the membrane, further activating Ras, completing a positive-feedback loop essential for excitability. Consistently, a computational model incorporating such a feedback loop in an excitable network model accurately simulates the dynamic distributions of active Ras and PI(3,4)P2 as well as cell migratory behavior. The mutually inhibitory Ras-PI(3,4)P2 mechanisms we uncovered here provide a framework for Ras regulation that may play a key role in many physiological processes.
