text: Lamellipodia are sheet-like protrusions formed during migration or phagocytosis
and comprise a network of actin filaments. Filament formation in this network
is initiated by nucleation/branching through the actin-related protein 2/3 (Arp2/3)
complex downstream of its activator, suppressor of cAMP receptor/WASP-family verprolin
homologous (Scar/WAVE), but the relative relevance of Arp2/3-mediated branching
versus actin filament elongation is unknown. Here we use instantaneous interference
with Arp2/3 complex function in live fibroblasts with established lamellipodia.
This allows direct examination of both the fate of elongating filaments upon instantaneous
suppression of Arp2/3 complex activity and the consequences of this treatment
on the dynamics of other lamellipodial regulators. We show that Arp2/3 complex
is an essential organizer of treadmilling actin filament arrays but has little
effect on the net rate of actin filament turnover at the cell periphery. In addition,
Arp2/3 complex serves as key upstream factor for the recruitment of modulators
of lamellipodia formation such as capping protein or cofilin. Arp2/3 complex is
thus decisive for filament organization and geometry within the network not only
by generating branches and novel filament ends, but also by directing capping
or severing activities to the lamellipodium. Arp2/3 complex is also crucial to
lamellipodia-based migration of keratocytes.
