    Description: We determined a crystal structure of bovine Arp2/3 complex, an assembly of seven proteins that initiates actin polymerization in eukaryotic cells, at 2.0 angstrom resolution. Actin-related protein 2 (Arp2) and Arp3 are folded like actin, with distinctive surface features. Subunits ARPC2 p34 and ARPC4 p20 in the core of the complex associate through long carboxyl-terminal alpha helices and have similarly folded amino-terminal alpha/beta domains. ARPC1 p40 is a seven-blade beta propeller with an insertion that may associate with the side of an actin filament. ARPC3 p21 and ARPC5 p16 are globular alpha-helical subunits. We predict that WASp/Scar proteins activate Arp2/3 complex by bringing Arp2 into proximity with Arp3 for nucleation of a branch on the side of a preexisting actin filament.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Robinson, R C -- Turbedsky, K -- Kaiser, D A -- Marchand, J B -- Higgs, H N -- Choe, S -- Pollard, T D -- GM-26132/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM-26338/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM-56653/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2001 Nov 23;294(5547):1679-84.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Structural Biology Laboratory, Salk Institute for Biological Studies, 10010 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11721045" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Structure of Arp2/3 complex in its activated state and in actin filament branch junctions (2001)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2001-09-05
    Description: The seven-subunit Arp2/3 complex choreographs the formation of branched actin networks at the leading edge of migrating cells. When activated by Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASp), the Arp2/3 complex initiates actin filament branches from the sides of existing filaments. Electron cryomicroscopy and three-dimensional reconstruction of Acanthamoeba castellanii and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Arp2/3 complexes bound to the WASp carboxy-terminal domain reveal asymmetric, oblate ellipsoids. Image analysis of actin branches indicates that the complex binds the side of the mother filament, and Arp2 and Arp3 (for actin-related protein) are the first two subunits of the daughter filament. Comparison to the actin-free, WASp-activated complexes suggests that branch initiation involves large-scale structural rearrangements within Arp2/3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Volkmann, N -- Amann, K J -- Stoilova-McPhie, S -- Egile, C -- Winter, D C -- Hazelwood, L -- Heuser, J E -- Li, R -- Pollard, T D -- Hanein, D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2001 Sep 28;293(5539):2456-9.
