The SCAR/WAVE complex controls actin polymerization at the leading edges of moving cells, but its mechanism of regulation remains unclear. The recent determination of its crystal structure, and identification of the binding sites for upstream regulators, mean its workings can finally start to be revealed.
SCAR/WAVE 复合物控制着移动细胞前缘的肌动蛋白聚合,但它的调节机制仍不清楚。最近确定了它的晶体结构,并确定了上游调节剂的结合位点,这意味着它的工作机制终于可以开始揭示了。
