Reticular adhesions (RAs) consist of integrin v{beta}5 and harbor flat clathrin lattices (FCLs), long-lasting structures with similar molecular composition to clathrin mediated endocytosis (CME) carriers. Why FCLs and RAs colocalize is not known. Here, we show that FCLs assemble RAs in a process controlled by fibronectin (FN) and its receptor, integrin v{beta}5. We observed that cells on FN-rich matrices displayed fewer FCLs and RAs. CME machinery inhibition abolished RAs and live-cell imaging showed that RA establishment requires FCL co-assembly. The inhibitory activity of FN was mediated by the activation of integrin 5{beta}1 at Tensin1-positive fibrillar adhesions. Conventionally, endocytosis disassembles cellular adhesions by internalization of their components. Our results present a novel paradigm in the relationship between these two processes by showing that endocytic proteins can actively function in the assembly of cell adhesions. Furthermore, we show this novel adhesion assembly mechanism is coupled to cell migration via a unique crosstalk between cell matrix adhesions.
