Abstract
Hic-5 is a paxillin homologue that is localized to focal adhesion complexes. Hic-5 and paxillin share structural homology and interacting factors such as focal adhesion kinase (FAK), Pyk2/CAKbeta/RAFTK, and PTP-PEST. Here, we showed that Hic-5 inhibits integrin-mediated cell spreading on fibronectin in a competitive manner with paxillin in NIH 3T3 cells. The overexpression of Hic-5 sequestered FAK from paxillin, reduced tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin and FAK, and prevented paxillin-Crk complex formation. In addition, Hic-5-mediated inhibition of spreading was not observed in mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) derived from FAK(-/-) mice. The activity of c-Src following fibronectin stimulation was decreased by about 30% in Hic-5-expressing cells, and the effect of Hic-5 was restored by the overexpression of FAK and the constitutively active forms of Rho-family GTPases, Rac1 V12 and Cdc42 V12, but not RhoA V14. These observations suggested that Hic-5 inhibits cell spreading through competition with paxillin for FAK and subsequent prevention of downstream signal transduction. Moreover, expression of antisense Hic-5 increased spreading in primary MEFs. These results suggested that the counterbalance of paxillin and Hic-5 expression may be a novel mechanism regulating integrin-mediated signal transduction.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
