Podosomes, which are actin-rich structures, contribute to cell motility, matrix remodeling, and tissue remodeling. We have shown that G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2-interacting protein 1 (GIT1) colocalizes with podosomes and is important in podosome formation in endothelial cells. Src stimulates GIT1 tyrosine phosphorylation, which is critical for phospholipase C-γ (PLCγ) activation. In this study, we identified specific GIT1 tyrosines required for PLCγ activation and podosome formation in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC).
