Nucleation, stabilization, and disassembly of branched actin networks

Alexis M. Gautreau et al.

Summary: This article discusses the role and regulation of the Arp2/3 complex, a nucleation and branching machinery of actin filaments conserved in all eukaryotes. Recent advances include high-resolution cryo-EM structures that provide insights into the mechanisms of complex activation and branch formation, as well as novel cellular pathways for branch formation, stabilization, and debranching. However, there are still significant gaps in our understanding of complex inhibition and branch stabilization and disassembly.

Structure of Arp2/3 complex at a branched actin filament junction resolved by single-particle cryo-electron microscopy

Bojian Ding et al.

Summary: Arp2/3 complex nucleates branched actin filaments and provides pushing forces for cellular processes. This study reveals the contacts between Arp2/3 complex and the mother actin filament, suggesting that actin filaments stimulate subunit flattening for complex activation. However, limited contact between the bottom half of the complex and the mother filament may explain why actin filaments are required but insufficient to trigger nucleation during WASP-mediated activation.

MICAL2 enhances branched actin network disassembly by oxidizing Arp3B-containing Arp2/3 complexes

Chiara Galloni et al.

Summary: The study found that Arp3 and Arp3B isocomplexes both efficiently promote actin assembly but generate branched actin networks with different disassembly rates, with Arp3B dissociating significantly faster than Arp3. This difference is due to the oxidation of Arp3B by MICAL2, which is recruited to the actin network by coronin 1C, and together with cortactin, they promote the disassembly of branched actin networks.
