Here we report that TOM1L1 is co-amplified with ERBB2 and defines a subgroup of HER2 þ /ER þ tumours with early metastatic relapse. TOM1L1 encodes a GAT domain-containing trafficking protein and is a SRC substrate that negatively regulates tyrosine kinase signalling. We demonstrate that TOM1L1 upregulation enhances the invasiveness of ERBB2-transformed cells. This pro-tumoural function does not involve SRC, but implicates membrane-bound membrane-type 1 MMP (MT1-MMP)-dependent activation of invadopodia, membrane protrusions specialized in extracellular matrix degradation. Mechanistically, ERBB2 elicits the indirect phosphorylation of TOM1L1 on Ser321. The phosphorylation event promotes GAT-dependent association of TOM1L1 with the sorting protein TOLLIP and trafficking of the metalloprotease MT1-MMP from endocytic compartments to invadopodia for tumour cell invasion. Collectively, these results show that TOM1L1 is an important element of an ERBB2-driven proteolytic invasive programme and that TOM1L1 amplification potentially enhances the metastatic progression of ERBB2-positive breast cancers. 1 Montpellier University, Centre de Recherche de Biochimie Macromole´culaire, CNRS UMR 5237, 34293 Montpellier, France. 2 Centre de Biochimie Structurale, CNRS UMR 5048-INSERM UMR 1054, 29 rue de navacelles, 34090 Montpellier, France. 3 Montpellier RIO Imaging Facility, 34293 Montpellier, France. 4 Functional Proteomics Platform, 34090 Montpellier, France. 5 IRCM, Institut de Recherche en Cance´rologie de Montpellier; INSERM U896, 34298 Montpellier, France. 6 Translational Research Unit, Institut re´gional du Cancer de Montpellier (ICM)-Val d’Aurelle, 34298 Montpellier, France. * These authors contributed equally to this work. w Present addresses: SFR Biosit, CNRS UMS 3480/INSERM US 018, MRic photonics platform, University Rennes 1, 35043 Rennes, France (C.C.); Centre de Recherche en Cance´rologie de Lyon, Inserm UMR-S1052, 69373 Lyon, France (G.C.).
