ARPC1B (p41-Arc) physically interacts with PAK1 both in vitro and in vivo, and PAK1 phosphorylates ARPC1B on threonine 21 within the first WD repeat. This phosphorylation regulates ARPC1B localization with the Arp2/3 complex at cortical nucleation regions and is required for both constitutive and growth-factor-induced cell motility. |

ARPC1B colocalizes with gamma-tubulin at centrosomes and acts as both a physiological activator and substrate of Aurora A kinase. Aurora A phosphorylates ARPC1B on threonine 21; expression of wild-type but not non-phosphorylatable ARPC1B leads to Aurora A activation and abnormal centrosome amplification. Depletion of ARPC1B inhibits Aurora A activation at the centrosome and impairs mitotic entry. |

Loss of ARPC1B in platelets abolishes Arp2/3 complex assembly (greatly reduced Arp2/3 complex detected in platelet lysates), causes aberrant platelet spreading consistent with loss of Arp2/3-dependent actin branching, and leads to microthrombocytopenia. Knockout of ARPC1B in megakaryocytic cells decreases proplatelet formation. Loss of ARPC1B is accompanied by compensatory upregulation of ARPC1A, but the two isoforms are not functionally interchangeable. |

ARPC1B is required for T cell and thrombocyte development in zebrafish; loss-of-function ARPC1B defects are rescued by wild-type human ARPC1B but not by the patient frameshift variant p.V208VfsX20, establishing the causality of this variant. ARPC1B expression is restricted to hematopoietic cells. |

ARPC1B deficiency in T cells impairs Arp2/3-dependent actin-rich lamellipodia extension upon TCR stimulation, prevents immunological synapse assembly, and causes defective TCR-mediated proliferation and SDF1-α-directed migration. Lentiviral gene transfer of ARPC1B into patient-derived T cells restored ARPC1B expression and T-cell proliferation, confirming direct causality. |

ARPC1B is required for CTL lamellipodia formation, actin reorganization at the immune synapse, and polarized lytic granule secretion. Additionally, ARPC1B is indispensable for retromer/WASH-dependent recycling of TCR, CD8, and GLUT1 to the plasma membrane; loss of ARPC1B causes depletion of these surface proteins, impaired T cell signaling and proliferation, and progressive CD8+ T cell loss. |

ARPC1B-containing Arp2/3 complexes are stimulated by WASP to nucleate branched actin networks. Despite ARPC1A upregulation, ARPC1B-deficient cells are incapable of WASP-mediated Arp2/3 nucleation, demonstrating that ARPC1B specifically mediates WASP-stimulated actin branching. Loss of this activity weakens the cortical F-actin cytoskeleton in B cells, increases BCR diffusion, and causes elevated tonic lipid signaling, oscillatory calcium release from the ER, and elevated phospho-Akt. |

ARPC1B-deficient neutrophils show defective actin polymerization and are able to transmigrate through TNF-α-activated endothelium with decreased efficiency under physiological flow conditions but show severe impairment in subendothelial crawling, 3D collagen matrix migration, and vessel-on-a-chip locomotion, indicating that Arp2/3-dependent actin branching via ARPC1B is specifically required for post-transmigration migration modes. |

EVA1A promotes endothelial cell migration partly through ARPC1B as a downstream effector; siRNA-mediated knockdown of ARPC1B downstream of EVA1A ablates EVA1A-promoted migration. Proteomics revealed reduced Arpc1b levels when EVA1A is absent, and Rac1/Cdc42 GTPase activation is regulated by EVA1A upstream of Arpc1b. |

ARPC1B-deficient iPSC-derived neutrophils (iNeutrophils) show impaired migration and switch from pseudopod formation to elongated filopodia, indicating that ARPC1B/Arp2/3-dependent branched actin is specifically required for pseudopod-based motility. Additionally, ARPC1B deficiency in endothelium (blood vessel-on-a-chip) independently impairs neutrophil transmigration, with combined neutrophil+endothelial ARPC1B deficiency causing additive migration reduction. |
