Cells extend membrane protrusions like lamellipodia and filopodia from the leading edge to sense, to move and to form new contacts. The Arp2/3 complex sustains lamellipodia formation, and in conjunction with the actomyosin contractile system, provides mechanical strength to the cell. p53-related protein kinase (Prpk), a Tsc5p ortholog, has been described as essential for cell growth and proliferation.
