Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are increasingly recognized as having the capacity to signal post-internalization. Signalling outputs and/or duration, and subsequent cellular outcome, are thought to be distinct when emanating from endosomes compared with those from the plasma membrane. Here we show, in invasive, basal-like human breast cell models, that different mechanisms are engaged by the RTK c-Met in two different endosomes to control the actin cytoskeleton via the key migratory signal output Rac1. Despite an acute activation of Rac1 from peripheral endosomes (PEs), c-Met needs to traffic to a perinuclear endosome (PNE) to sustain Rac1 signalling, trigger optimal membrane ruffling, cell migration and invasion. Unexpectedly, in the PNE but not in the PE, PI3K and the Rac-GEF Vav2 are required. Thus we describe a novel endosomal signalling mechanism whereby one signal output, Rac1, is stimulated through distinct pathways by the same RTK depending on which endosome it is localized to in the cell.
