  8. The ARP complex Regulates Actin Polymerization Arp2 and Arp3 cannot form polymers due to differences in their minus ends Figure 16-28 part 1 of 2. Molecular Biology of the Cell, 4th Edition

  9. WASP/WAVE proteins regulate ARP2/3 complex ARP2/3 ARP2/3 ARP2/3 ARP2/3 G-actin WASP/SCAR

  10. R R ARP2/3 ARP2/3 ARP2/3 ARP2/3 R G-actin R R SCAR SCAR

  11. ARP2/3 G-actin R SCAR

  12. NAP PIR ABI BRK R

  13. Brk is part of SCAR complex NO BRICK BRICK Wild type brk

  14. NO ARP2/3 ARP2/3 Wild type arp2

  15. SCAR activates ARP2/3 in vitro: ? NO SCAR SCAR Wild type SCAR?

  16. Mutant analysis ? NAP ARP2/3 SCAR PIR ABI BRK

  17. Activatory mode ? ARP2/3 NAP SCAR PIR ABI BRK

  18. There are different ways to knock out gene function: • start with mutant - analyze phenotype • introduce RNAi-analyze phenotype NAP ? SCAR PIR ABI BRK

  19. Another way to study gene function - analyze it’s expression NAP SCAR PIR ABI BRK BRK

  20. Another way to study gene function - analyze it’s expression BRK
