Unlike the WASP family of Arp2/3 complex activators, WISH/DIP/SPIN90 (WDS) family proteins activate actin filament nucleation by the Arp2/3 complex without the need for a preformed actin filament. This allows WDS proteins to initiate branched actin network assembly by providing seed filaments that activate WASP-bound Arp2/3 complex ...
