We have systematically measured KD (the equilibrium dissociation constant between the antibody and its antigen), of more than 840 recombinant antibodies to assess not only their individual KD values but also to see the average affinity of antibody. Based on the comparison with published literature values for mouse monoclonal antibodies, Recombinant antibodies appear to be on average 1-2 order of magnitude higher affinity.

ARP2 knockdown in human respiratory epithelial A549 cells.(A) Knockdown of ARP2 protein expression. Replicate monolayers of A549 cells were transfected with siARP2, siControl, or no siRNA, as indicated. At 48 hr post-transfection, one set of monolayers was harvested. The others were infected with RSV-GFP (MOI = 1) or mock-infected, and harvested at 24, 48, and 72 hpi, as indicated. The cells were processed for Western blot. ARP2 protein was detected using a primary rabbit mAb and an anti-rabbit IgG IRDye800 secondary Ab. Alpha-tubulin, as a loading control, was detected with a primary mouse mAb and an anti-mouse IgG IRDye680 secondary Ab. Bound antibodies were visualized by infrared fluorescence. One representative of four independent experiments is shown. (B) Knockdown of ARP2 mRNA expression. A549 cells were transfected with siARP2, siControl, or no siRNA, as indicated. Sets of monolayers were harvested 24 and 48 hr post-transfection. The remaining monolayers were infected with RSV-GFP (MOI = 1) or mock-infected, and harvested at 24, 48, and 72 hpi, as indicated. Total cell-associated ARP2 mRNA was quantified by real-time PCR using a TaqMan assay for ARP2. 18S ribosomal RNA was used as an endogenous control for normalization of each reaction, and the values of ARP2 expression are shown as fold-change relative to the no-siRNA control 24 hr post-transfection. Each sample was tested in quadruplicate by TaqMan assay and the averages are presented. (C) ARP2 knockdown did not reduce cell viability. A549 cells were transfected with siARP2, siControl or no siRNA for 48 hr. Cell viability was compared using alamarBlue and expressed relative to the no-siRNA control. Data from three independent experiments, each done in triplicate were combined for analysis. Error bars show standard deviation (SD).

Supplementary information

Arp2 also known as actin-related protein 2 is a subunit of the Arp2/3 complex which plays an important role in nucleating actin filaments. This protein facilitates the formation of branched actin networks important for cellular functions. Arp2 has a mass of approximately 44 kDa and is widely expressed across different tissues especially in regions with significant actin cytoskeletal remodeling such as the cortex of cells.
Biological function summary

Arp2 acts as a central component within the Arp2/3 complex which regulates actin polymerization and branching. This complex consists of seven subunits and Arp2 in concert with Arp3 and additional regulatory proteins initiates new actin filament branches from pre-existing ones. As a result it is essential for cellular processes like cell movement phagocytosis and maintaining cell shape by controlling the spatial and temporal organization of actin filaments.

Pathways

The Arp2/3 complex is integral to the actin polymerization pathway and the pathway for cell motility. Arp2 influences the dynamics of filamentous actin interacting with proteins such as Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) to promote branching. This process affects various cellular activities linked to actin forming connections with the Rho GTPase signaling network which regulates cytoskeletal dynamics and cellular signaling pathways.

Disruptions in the function of the Arp2/3 complex have been associated with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome and cancer metastasis. Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome linked with mutations in the WASP protein shows impaired actin branching capability due to insufficient Arp2/3 complex activity. Additionally aberrant regulation of actin polymerization in cancer cells leads to enhanced invasive properties implicating Arp2 as a potential factor in the pathology of metastatic progression.

Target data

ATP-binding component of the Arp2/3 complex, a multiprotein complex that mediates actin polymerization upon stimulation by nucleation-promoting factor (NPF) (PubMed : 9000076). The Arp2/3 complex mediates the formation of branched actin networks in the cytoplasm, providing the force for cell motility (PubMed : 9000076). Seems to contact the pointed end of the daughter actin filament (PubMed : 9000076). In podocytes, required for the formation of lamellipodia downstream of AVIL and PLCE1 regulation (PubMed : 29058690). 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 (PubMed : 17220302, PubMed : 29925947). 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) (PubMed : 29925947).
