Arp2/3 complex–dependent actin networks constrain myosin II function in driving retrograde actin flow

The Arp2/3 complex nucleates actin filaments to generate networks at the leading edge of motile cells. Nonmuscle myosin II produces contractile forces involved in driving actin network translocation. We inhibited the Arp2/3 complex and/or myosin II with small molecules to investigate their respectiv...
