Actin-related protein2/3 complex regulates tight junctions and terminal differentiation to promote epidermal barrier formation

Abstract

Significance This study used a genetic approach to probe the function of the F-actin nucleating Arp2/3 complex in skin development. Although the Arp2/3 complex was expected to be involved in morphogenesis and cell adhesion, loss of its activity did not result in architectural problems in the epidermis. However, Arp2/3 was essential for epidermal function. We revealed two unexpected functions for the Arp2/3 complex in the epidermis that are critical for tissue physiology: tight junction assembly/function and the regulation of YAP activity.
