Either Abl or Arg kinase activity is sufficient for protrusions, but Arg uniquely provides a scaffold function required for cell edge protrusion. (A and B) Quantification of protrusion (A) and retraction (B) data for WT cells treated with DMSO vehicle or 10 µM STI-571 and Abl/Arg dko cells expressing YFP, Arg-YFP, KI Arg-YFP (Arg KI), or Abl-YFP. Mean ± SEM. Fisher’s PLSD of WT versus WT + STI-571: *, P < 0.0001. (C–H) Representative frames from 10-min time-lapse videos of cells plated on glass coverslips coated with 10 µg/ml fibronectin and treated with DMSO vehicle (n = 20 cells; C), 10 µM STI-571 (n = 20 cells; D), and dko cells expressing YFP (n = 20 cells; E), Arg-YFP (n = 16 cells; F), Arg KI-YFP (n = 20 cells; G), or Abl-YFP (n = 30; H) are shown. The three rightmost panels are representative kymographs for each genotype. Kymographs were constructed as in Fig. 2. Bars, 10 µm.
