Citation | Journal: Nat Commun / Year: 2023Title: Mechanism of synergistic activation of Arp2/3 complex by cortactin and WASP-family proteins. Authors: Fred E Fregoso / Malgorzata Boczkowska / Grzegorz Rebowski / Peter J Carman / Trevor van Eeuwen / Roberto Dominguez / ![]() Abstract: 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 poorly ...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 poorly understood how cortactin performs these functions. We describe the 2.89 Å resolution cryo-EM structure of cortactin's N-terminal domain (Cort) bound to Arp2/3 complex. Cortactin binds Arp2/3 complex through an inverted Acidic domain (D20-V29), which targets the same site on Arp3 as the Acidic domain of NPFs but with opposite polarity. Sequences N- and C-terminal to cortactin's Acidic domain do not increase its affinity for Arp2/3 complex but contribute toward coactivation with NPFs. Coactivation further increases with NPF dimerization and for longer cortactin constructs with stronger binding to F-actin. The results suggest that cortactin contributes to Arp2/3 complex coactivation with NPFs in two ways, by helping recruit the complex to F-actin and by stabilizing the short-pitch (active) conformation, which are both byproducts of cortactin's core function in branch stabilization. | |||||||||
