The GTPase dynamin controls a variety of endocytic pathways, participates in the formation of phagosomes, podosomal adhesions and invadopodia and in regulation of the cytoskeleton and apoptosis. Rac, a member of the Rho family of small GTPases, controls formation of lamellipodia and focal complexes, which are critical in cell migration and phagocytosis. We now show that disruption of dynamin-2 function alters Rac localization and inhibits cell spreading and lamellipodia formation even though Rac is activated. Dominant-negative K44A dynamin-2 inhibited cell spreading and lamellipodia formation on fibronectin without blocking cell adhesion; dynamin-2 depletion by specific siRNA inhibited lamellipodia in a similar manner. Dyn2(K44A) induced Rac mislocalization away from cell edges, into abnormal dorsal ruffles and led to increased total Rac activity. FRET-imaging of Rac activity confirmed its predominant localization to aberrant dorsal ruffles in the presence of dominant negative dyn2(K44A). Dyn2(K44A) induced the accumulation of tubulated structures bearing membrane-bound Rac-GFP. Constitutively active but not WT GFP-Rac was found on macropinosomes and Rac-dependent, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-induced macropinocytosis was abolished by Dyn2(K44A) expression. These data suggest an indispensable role of dynamin in Rac trafficking to allow for lamellipodia formation and cell spreading.
