Abstract
Actin-related protein (Arp) 2/3 complex stimulates formation of actin filaments at the leading edge of motile cells. Nucleation of filaments depends on hydrolysis of ATP bound to Arp2. Here we report crystal structures of Arp2/3 complex with bound ATP or ADP. The nucleotides are immobilized on the face of subdomains 3 and 4 of Arp2, whereas subdomains 1 and 2 are flexible and absent from the electron density maps. This flexibility may explain why Arp2 does not hydrolyze ATP until the complex is activated. ATP stabilizes a relatively closed conformation of Arp3 with the gamma-phosphate bridging loops from opposite sides of the cleft. ADP binds Arp3 in a unique conformation that favors an open cleft, revealing a conformational change that may occur in actin and Arps when ATP is hydrolyzed and phosphate dissociates. These structures provide the an opportunity to compare all nucleotide-binding states in an actin-related protein and give insights into the function of both the Arp2/3 complex and actin.

Fig. 3. Stereo figure showing conformational changes cased by ATP binding. (A) Overlay of subdomains 1 and 2 of Arp3 from the apo-(red) and ATP (blue) complexes. (B) Overlay of Arp3 based on the superposition of the entire Arp3 subunits from Apo-containing (red), ADP-containing (blue), and ATP-containing (cyan) complexes. ATP is shown in yellow. DYNDOM-defined rotation axes required to bring the apo-Arp3 in alignment with each of the nucleotide-containing structures are blue for ADP-Arp3 and green for ATP-Arp3. The dotted black lines indicate distances measured to compare cleft closure. Lengths in Å of A-C are as follows: apo-Arp3, 9.84, 8.47, and 16.08; ADP-Arp3, 8.28, 8.84, and 15.02; ATP-Arp3, 8.35, 6.75, and 13.10; actin (PDB entry 1ATN [PDB] ), 8.35, 5.49, and 10.36. The coordinate error estimate by Luzzati plot is 0.36 Å for the ADP complex and 0.38 Å for the ATP complex (44).

ADP is shown in magenta, and ATP is shown in blue. (B) Interactions of ATP phosphates with Arp3. (C) Interactions of ADP phosphates with Arp3. (D) Overlay of actin (PDB entry 1NMD [PDB] , green) and ATP-Arp3 (yellow) based on superposition of the entire molecules. ATP and divalent cation from the actin structure are orange, ATP and Ca^2+ from Arp3 are blue. Select water molecules from 1NMD [PDB] are modeled as red spheres.
