ATP is required for nucleation of actin filament branches by Arp2/3, complex, but the influence of ATP binding and hydrolysis are poorly, understood. We determined crystal structures of bovine Arp2/3 complex, cocrystallized with various bound adenine nucleotides and cations., Nucleotide binding favors closure of the nucleotide-binding cleft of Arp3, but no large-scale conformational changes in the complex. Thus, ATP, binding does not directly activate Arp2/3 complex but is part of a network, of interactions that contribute to nucleation. We compared, nucleotide-induced conformational changes of residues lining the cleft in, Arp3 and actin structures to construct a movie depicting the proposed, ATPase cycle for the actin family. Chemical crosslinking stabilized, subdomain 1 of Arp2, revealing new electron density for 69 residues in, this subdomain. Steric clashes with Arp3 appear to be responsible for, intrinsic disorder of subdomains 1 and 2 of Arp2 in inactive Arp2/3, complex.
