Now, swing your partner! 3D-domain switching of WASP activates Arp2/3 complex

Sarah E Hitchcock-DeGregori

The author is in the Department of Neuroscience and Cell Biology at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, 675 Hoes Lane, Piscataway, New Jersey 08854, USA. hitchcoc@umdnj.edu

Structural and functional analysis of WASP family cell signaling proteins shows that the same residues that are sequestered upon GTPase binding in the autoinhibited state are involved in binding to and activating Arp2/3 complex, WASP's downstream partner in the signaling cascade.
