Actin-based, finger-like cell protrusions such as microvilli and filopodia play important roles in epithelial cells. Several proteins have been identified to regulate cell protrusion formation, which helps us to learn about the underlying mechanism of this process. FCH domain and double SH3 domains containing protein 2 (FCHSD2) belongs to the FCH and Bin-Amphiphysin-Rvs (F-BAR) protein family, containing an N-terminal F-BAR domain, two SH3 domains, and a C-terminal PDZ domain-binding interface (PBI). Previously, we found that FCHSD2 interacts with WASP/N-WASP and stimulates ARP2/3-mediated actin polymerization in vitro. In the present work, we show that FCHSD2 promotes the formation of apical and lateral cell protrusions in cultured cells. Our data suggest that FCHSD2 cooperates with CDC42 and N-WASP in regulating apical cell protrusion formation. In line with this, biochemical studies reveal that FCHSD2 and CDC42 simultaneously bind to N-WASP, forming a protein complex. Interestingly, the F-BAR domain of FCHSD2 induces lateral cell protrusion formation independently of N-WASP. Furthermore, we show that the ability of FCHSD2 to induce cell protrusion formation requires its plasma membrane-binding ability. In summary, our present work suggests that FCHSD2 cooperates with CDC42 and N-WASP to regulate cell protrusion formation in a membrane-dependent manner.
