The Rho family of small GTPases has been implicated in the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and subsequent morphological changes in various cells. Rnd1, a member of this family, has a low intrinsic GTPase activity and exerts antagonistic effects on RhoA signaling. However, how the activity of Rnd1 is regulated has not yet been elucidated. Here we have demonstrated that Rnd1 directly associates with FRS2 alpha and FRS2 beta, which are docking proteins of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptors and play important roles in the intracellular signals induced by FGFs. The interaction of FRS2 beta with Rnd1 suppresses the inhibitory effect of Rnd1 on RhoA. Rnd1 binds to the COOH-terminal region of FRS2 beta including tyrosine residues essential for the interaction with Shp2. When FGF receptor 1 is activated, it phosphorylates FRS2 beta, recruits Shp2, and releases Rnd1 from FRS2 beta. The liberated Rnd1 then inhibits RhoA activity. Furthermore, knockdown of Rnd1 by Rnd1-specific short interfering RNAs suppress the FGF-induced neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells. These results suggest that the activity of Rnd1 is regulated by FGF receptor through FRS2 beta and that Rnd1 plays an important role in the FGF signaling during neurite outgrowth.
