Assembly of branched actin filament networks at the leading edge of migrating cells requires stimulation of the Arp2/3 complex by WASp proteins, in concert with the WASp activators Cdc42, PIP(2) and profilin. Network disassembly and debranching appears to be linked to actin-bound ATP hydrolysis as filaments age.
在迁移细胞的前沿组装分支状肌动蛋白丝网络需要WASp蛋白协同WASp激活剂Cdc42、磷脂酰肌醇-4,5-二磷酸(PIP(2))和肌动蛋白结合蛋白对Arp2/3复合物进行刺激。随着肌动蛋白丝老化,网络的解体和去分支似乎与肌动蛋白结合的ATP水解有关。
