Abstract excerpt
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) and WASP family verprolin-homologous protein (WAVE) family proteins activate cells' major actin nucleating machinery, the actin-related protein 2/3 (Arp2/3) complex, leading to the formation and remodeling of cortical actin filament networks. Cortical actin regulation is critical in many aspects of cell physiology including cell-cell adhesion and cell motility, whose...
