Regulation By Phosphorylation: Yet Another Twist in the WASP Story

摘要

Cell migration and other complex cellular processes involve a variety of signaling molecules and require the integration of multiple signals into a coherent cytoskeletal response. Two papers in the May issue of Molecular Cell now demonstrate that phosphorylation plays a critical role in WASP function as a regulator of Arp2/3-mediated actin polymerization.
