17. MYH9 is required for lamellipodia formation since it provides contractile forces and tension for the F-actin network to form convex arcs at the leading edge through constitutive binding to WAVE2 and colocalization with PIP(3) in response to IGF-I. PMID: 21184743
18. WAVE2 complexs with insulin receptor substrate p53 and is crucial for membrane targeting followed by local accumulation of WAVE2 at the leading edge of cells. PMID: 20621182
19. WAVE2-membrane targeting is directionally controlled by binding of the EB1-stathmin complex to WAVE2-bearing microtubules and by the interaction between WAVE2 and PIP3 produced near IGF-IR that is locally activated by IGF-I. PMID: 19925864
20. The WAVE2-Abi1-Nap1-PIR121 complex is as active as the WAVE2-Abi1 sub-complex in stimulating Arp2/3, and after Rac activation it is re-localized to the leading edge of ruffles in vivo. PMID: 15048123
21. reconstitution of the Wave-2 complex and a study of the molecular architecture PMID: 15070726

23. the 3 WAVE isoforms exhibit common and distinct features and may potentially be involved in the regulation of actin cytoskeleton in platelets PMID: 15280206
24. WAVE-2 and WAVE-3 expression was not changed by the megakaryocytic differentiation; WAVE-1 and WAVE-2 moved from a detergent-soluble cytosolic fraction to insoluble cytoskeleton fraction after platelet aggregation PMID: 15670045
