Abstract

Surface receptors can link binding of ligands to changes in the actin-based cell cytoskeleton. Chia et al. and Chen et al. provide evidence for direct binding between the cytoplasmic tails of receptors and the WAVE complex, a regulator of the actin nucleator Arp2/3 complex, which might help to explain how environmental signals are translated into changes in morphology and motility.
