New roles of the Arp2/3 complex and WHAMM in cell cleanup and recycling systems

Updated

Abstract

The Arp2/3 complex is crucial in the later stages of autophagy, particularly for maintaining lysosomal integrity.

  • Actin cytoskeletal rearrangements are influenced by the Arp2/3 complex during the autophagy process.
  • The role of Arp2/3-mediated actin assembly in autophagy has been previously unclear.
  • WHAMM promotes the activation of Arp2/3 at permeabilized lysosomes.
  • New roles for actin, the Arp2/3 complex, and WHAMM in lysosomal damage responses are identified.
