How do extracellular signals induce actin polymerization, as required for many cellular responses? Key signal transducers, such as the small GTPases Cdc42 and Rac, have now been shown to link via proteins of the WASP family to the Arp2/3 complex, which nucleates actin polymerization.
细胞外信号如何像许多细胞反应所要求的那样诱导肌动蛋白聚合呢?关键信号转导分子,如小GTP酶Cdc42和Rac,现已证明可通过WASP家族的蛋白质与Arp2/3复合体相连,该复合体可引发肌动蛋白聚合。
