Mechanism of synergistic activation of Arp2/3 complex by cortactin and WASP-family proteins

FE Fregoso, M Boczkowska, G Rebowski… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Cortactin coactivates Arp2/3 complex synergistically with WASP-family nucleation-promoting
factors (NPFs) and stabilizes branched networks by linking Arp2/3 complex to F-actin. It is …

Small molecules CK-666 and CK-869 inhibit actin-related protein 2/3 complex by blocking an activating conformational change
