Recombinant Mouse Arpc3 Protein, Myc/DDK-tagged

• Cat.No.: Arpc3-1726M
• Product Overview: Purified recombinant protein of mouse full-length actin related protein 2/3 complex, subunit 3 (Arpc3), with C-terminal MYC/DDK tag, expressed in HEK293T cells.

Specification

• Description: Component of the Arp2/3 complex, a multiprotein complex that mediates actin polymerization upon stimulation by nucleation-promoting factor (NPF). The Arp2/3 complex mediates the formation of branched actin networks in the cytoplasm, providing the force for cell motility. In addition to its role in the cytoplasmic cytoskeleton, the Arp2/3 complex also promotes actin polymerization in the nucleus, thereby regulating gene transcription and repair of damaged DNA. The Arp2/3 complex promotes homologous recombination (HR) repair in response to DNA damage by promoting nuclear actin polymerization, leading to drive motility of double-strand breaks (DSBs).

Q&As

Is the ARPC3 protein essential for cell viability?

Yes, the ARPC3 protein is essential for cell viability as it is a core component of the ARP2/3 complex, which is crucial for actin polymerization and cytoskeletal organization.

How is the ARPC3 protein involved in cellular processes?

The ARPC3 protein is involved in a wide range of cellular processes that require actin dynamics, such as cell motility, endocytosis, cell division, and formation of cellular protrusions like lamellipodia and filopodia.

How can the ARPC3 protein be regulated?

The ARPC3 protein can be regulated through various mechanisms. Factors such as phosphorylation, protein-protein interactions, and post-translational modifications can modulate its activity and influence actin dynamics in cells.

Can targeting the ARPC3 protein have therapeutic implications?

Targeting the ARPC3 protein or the ARP2/3 complex could have potential therapeutic implications for diseases characterized by dysregulated actin dynamics, such as cancer metastasis, autoimmune disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases. Developing specific inhibitors or modulators of ARPC3 activity could be explored as potential therapeutic strategies.

Are there any known diseases associated with alterations in ARPC3 expression or function?

Mutations or dysregulation of the ARPC3 gene have been linked to developmental disorders and genetic syndromes, including Baraitser-Winter syndrome and distal arthrogryposis.

Are there any known binding partners of the ARPC3 protein?

The ARPC3 protein interacts with other components of the ARP2/3 complex, such as ARPC1, ARPC2, ARPC4, and ARPC5, to form a functional actin nucleation complex. It also interacts with various actin-binding proteins and regulators to mediate actin dynamics.

How can researchers study the ARPC3 protein in the laboratory?

Researchers can study the ARPC3 protein by using techniques such as immunoblotting, immunofluorescence microscopy, co-immunoprecipitation, and gene knockout or knockdown approaches in cell culture models to assess its expression, localization, interactions, and functional effects.
