Citation | Journal: Nat Struct Mol Biol / Year: 2025Title: Arp2/3-mediated bidirectional actin assembly by SPIN90 dimers. Authors: Tianyang Liu / Luyan Cao / Miroslav Mladenov / Guillaume Romet-Lemonne / Michael Way / Carolyn A Moores / ![]() Abstract: Branched actin networks nucleated by the Arp2/3 complex have critical roles in various cellular processes, from cell migration to intracellular transport. However, when activated by WISH/DIP/SPIN90- ...Branched actin networks nucleated by the Arp2/3 complex have critical roles in various cellular processes, from cell migration to intracellular transport. However, when activated by WISH/DIP/SPIN90-family proteins, Arp2/3 nucleates linear actin filaments. Here we found that human SPIN90 is a dimer that can nucleate bidirectional actin filaments. To understand the basis for this, we determined a 3-Å-resolution structure of human SPIN90-Arp2/3 complex nucleating actin filaments. Our structure shows that SPIN90 dimerizes through a three-helix bundle and interacts with two Arp2/3 complexes. Each SPIN90 molecule binds both Arp2/3 complexes to promote their activation. Our analysis demonstrates that single-filament nucleation by Arp2/3 is mechanistically more like branch formation than previously appreciated. The dimerization domain in SPIN90 orthologs is conserved in metazoans, suggesting that this mode of bidirectional nucleation is a common strategy to generate antiparallel actin filaments. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
