Science. 294:2001;1679-1684 The crystal structure of the inactive form of the Arp2/3 complex is described. The structure defines ARPC2 and ARPC4 as the structural core of the complex. The location and polarity of Arp2 and Arp3 are consistent with their serving as the nucleation site for a filament with a free barbed end, but a substantial change in the position of the subunits relative to each other probably accompanies activation.

Structure of Arp2/3 complex in its activated state and in actin filament branch junctions. Science. 293:2001;2456-2459 The structure of the Arp2/3 complex at actin filament branches is described from cryo-electron microscopy. The Arp2/3 complex binds along the side of the mother filament. Activation of the Arp2/3 complex appears to involve large structural changes.

A GST fusion protein containing an acidic stretch of CARMIL (residues 644-863) weakly activates Arp2/3-dependent actin nucleation. The localization and mutant phenotype demonstrate an important role for CARMIL in actin-based cell motility.

They share a binding site on Arp3, and N-WASP has additional interactions with Arp2 and ARPC1/p40. Interaction of the DDW motif of N-WASP with Arp3 is not important for activation of Arp2/3 complex.
