Consistent with its critical function in cell physiology, actin assembly is highly regulated. One of the key factors controlling actin assembly is the actin nucleator, the Arp2/3 complex. Upon the hierarchical regulation of the activity of the Arp2/3 complex, the cell can build the correct actin framework spatially and temporally in response to different cellular signals.

CRMP-1 is essential for Listeria monocytogenes actin tail formation, as well as for actin filament accumulation inside MDCK epithelial cells. CRMP-1 acts as an enhancer for Arp2/3 complex in the Listeria system; yet CRMP-1 works with EVL as a novel Arp2/3 activator in the mammalian system. Perturbing CRMP-1 function results in the loss of actin assembly in both systems. CRMP-1 belongs to CRMP family which has been long studied as a microtubule binding protein.
