Key result
The acidic region of N-WASP plays an essential role in Arp2/3 complex activation and autoinhibition, while the WH1 domain complements Arp2/3 activation achieved through the VCA portion.
The acidic region of N-WASP is essential for Arp2/3 complex activation and autoinhibition, while the WH1 domain complements Arp2/3 activation.

Hypothesis-generating for cytoskeletal regulation in vascular cells; leaves open clinical relevance pending validation.
Suetsugu et al. (2001) studied this question. Partial deletion of acidic residues in N-WASP vs. Wild-type N-WASP was evaluated on Actin polymerization activity and actin comet size. The acidic region of N-WASP plays an essential role in Arp2/3 complex activation and autoinhibition, while the WH1 domain complements Arp2/3 activation achieved through the VCA portion.
