The molecular link between the signalling pathway regulating the formation of filopodia and
the initiation of local actin polymerization has been elucidated: N-WASP, a close homologue
of WASP, which is the product of the gene responsible for the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome,
mediates a direct connection between the small G-protein Cdc42 and the Arp2/3 complex.
