PLEKHG2/FLJ00018 is a G beta gamma-dependent guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the small GTPases Rac and Cdc42 and has been shown to mediate the signaling pathways leading to actin cytoskeleton reorganization. Here we showed that the zinc finger domain-containing protein four-and-a-half LIM domains 1 (FHL1) acts as a novel interaction partner of PLEKHG2 by the yeast two-hybrid system. Among the isoforms of FHL1 (i.e. FHL1A, FHL1B, and FHL1C), FHL1A and FHL1B interacted with PLEKHG2. We found that there was an FHL1-binding region at amino acids 58-150 of PLEKHG2. The overexpression of FHL1A but not FHL1B enhanced the PLEKHG2-induced serum response element-dependent gene transcription. The co-expression of FHL1A and G beta gamma synergistically enhanced the PLEKHG2-induced serum response element-dependent gene transcription. Increased transcription activity was decreased by FHL1A knock-out with the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Compared with PLEKHG2-expressing cells, the number and length of finger-like protrusions were increased in PLEKHG2-, G beta gamma-, and FHL1A-expressing cells. Our results provide evidence that FHL1A interacts with PLEKHG2 and regulates cell morphological change through the activity of PLEKHG2.
