[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ARPC4_BOVIN ARPC4_BOVIN]] Functions as actin-binding component of the Arp2/3 complex which is involved in regulation of actin polymerization and together with an activating nucleation-promoting factor (NPF) mediates the formation of branched actin networks. Seems to contact the mother actin filament (By similarity).

[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ARPC5_BOVIN ARPC5_BOVIN]] Functions as component of the Arp2/3 complex which is involved in regulation of actin polymerization and together with an activating nucleation-promoting factor (NPF) mediates the formation of branched actin networks (By similarity). [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ARP2_BOVIN ARP2_BOVIN]] Functions as ATP-binding component of the Arp2/3 complex which is involved in regulation of actin polymerization and together with an activating nucleation-promoting factor (NPF) mediates the formation of branched actin networks. Seems to contact the pointed end of the daughter actin filament. [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ARP3_BOVIN ARP3_BOVIN]] Functions as ATP-binding component of the Arp2/3 complex which is involved in regulation of actin polymerization and together with an activating nucleation-promoting factor (NPF) mediates the formation of branched actin networks. Seems to contact the pointed end of the daughter actin filament. Plays a role in ciliogenesis (By similarity).

The Arp2/3 complex mediates formation of complex cellular structures such as lamellipodia by nucleating branched actin filaments. Arp2/3-complex activity is precisely controlled by over a dozen regulators, yet the structural mechanism by which regulators interact with the complex is unknown. GMF is a recently discovered regulator of the Arp2/3 complex that can inhibit nucleation and disassemble branches. We solved the structure of the 240-kDa assembly of Mus musculus GMF and Bos taurus Arp2/3 complex and found that GMF binds the barbed end of Arp2, overlapping with the proposed binding site of WASP-family proteins. The structure suggests that GMF can bind branch junctions in the manner that cofilin binds filament sides, consistent with a modified cofilin-like mechanism for debranching by GMF. The GMF-Arp2 interface reveals how the ADF-H actin-binding domain in GMF is exploited to specifically recognize Arp2/3 complex and not actin.
