The ß3 integrin cytoplasmic domain, and specifically S752, is critical for integrin localization and osteoclast (OC) function. Because growth factors such as macrophage colony–stimulating factor and hepatocyte growth factor affect integrin activation and function via inside-out signaling, a process requiring the ß integrin cytoplasmic tail, we examined the effect of these growth factors on OC precursors. To this end, we retrovirally expressed various ß3 integrins with cytoplasmic tail mutations in ß3-deficient OC precursors. We find that S752 in the ß3 cytoplasmic tail is required for growth factor–induced integrin activation, cytoskeletal reorganization, and membrane protrusion, thereby affecting OC adhesion, migration, and bone resorption. The small GTPases Rho and Rac mediate cytoskeletal reorganization, and activation of each is defective in OC precursors lacking a functional ß3 subunit. Activation of the upstream mediators c-Src and c-Cbl is also dependent on ß3. Interestingly, although the FAK-related kinase Pyk2 interacts with c-Src and c-Cbl, its activation is not disrupted in the absence of functional ß3. Instead, its activation is dependent upon intracellular calcium, and on the ß2 integrin. Thus, the ß3 cytoplasmic domain is responsible for activation of specific intracellular signals leading to cytoskeletal reorganization critical for OC function.
