Vaccinia virus enhances its cell-to-cell spread by inducing Arp2/3-dependent actin polymerisation. This process is initiated by Src- and Abl-mediated phosphorylation of the viral transmembrane protein A36, leading to recruitment of a signalling network consisting of Grb2, Nck, WIP and N-WASP. Nck is a potent activator of N-WASP-Arp2/3-dependent actin polymerisation. However, recent observations demonstrate that an interaction between Nck and N-WASP is not required for vaccinia actin tail formation. We found that Cdc42 cooperates with Nck to promote actin tail formation by stabilising N-WASP beneath the virus. Cdc42 activation is mediated by the Rho guanine-nucleotide-exchange factor (GEF) intersectin-1 (ITSN1), which is recruited to the virus prior to its actin-based motility. Moreover, Cdc42, ITSN1 and N-WASP function collaboratively in a feed-forward loop to promote vaccinia-induced actin polymerisation. Outside the context of infection, we demonstrate that ITSN1 also functions together with Cdc42, Nck and N-WASP during phagocytosis mediated by the Fc gamma receptor. Our observations suggest that ITSN1 is an important general regulator of Cdc42-, Nck- and N-WASP-dependent actin polymerisation.
