1. Abstract ARP2/3 complex is well studied in case of animals, it plays key roles in motility of cells and intracellular organels. It's malfunctions result in severe growth disorders and even lethality of affected cells. On the contrary, plant cells do not exhibit such dramatic phenotype of ARP2/3 complex mutations like it is by animals. It is possible that just the different life strategies of plants and animals contribute to differences in a way how animal and plant cells use their cytoskeleton, where ARP2/3 complex is it's part as well. It is highly conserved 7 protein complex from yeast to human. His main functions are creation of new "de novo" actin filaments, actin branched filaments network. Some of the parasite organisms are capable of missusing its nucleator activity to actively move inside of host cell. Because of the plant cells are sourounded by the cell wall, which give them support in creating various shapes and also hinders active movement of the whole cell body, it is likely that ARP 2/3 complex could be possibly involved in novel plant specific functions as well. If we think about the different life strategy of plants and animals we can not ignore all the things these two kingdoms have in common regarding to cytoskeleton processes. That is the need both for vesicular transport and...
