Abstract: Cell movement is mediated by dynamic networks of actin — monomers of actin polymerize into filaments near the plasma membrane. How are these actin structures organized? Two groups have found that a seven-protein complex, containing the actin-related proteins Arp2 and Arp3, is responsible for initiating and organizing an actin-based dynamic meshwork that forms protrusions at the leading edge of motile cells.
