The Arp2/3 complex affects the rate of actin polymerization and promotes cellular actin assembly. Recent work has shown that cortactin is capable of stimulating the actin-nucleating activity of the Arp2/3 complex. In addition, more insight has been gained into how new actin-filament branches are formed and how actin patches in yeast are assembled.
