TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you are given a sentence. You are expected to recognize the name of gene or protein. Although there might be several correct answers, you need to write one of them.
PROBLEM:  In the virus - infected cells , translation of the M1 protein was reduced to 10 to 20 % of that of the wild - type virus ; however , the translation of neither the nucleoprotein nor NS1 was significantly interfered with , indicating the important role of NS1 in translational stimulation of the M1 protein .

SOLUTION: M1 protein

PROBLEM:  The protein encoded by the NF2 gene has a similarity to ezrin , radixin and moesin ( ERM ) proteins that link membrane proteins to the cytoskeleton .

SOLUTION: NF2 gene

PROBLEM:  The leukotriene receptor antagonist zafirlukast inhibits sulfur dioxide - induced bronchoconstriction in patients with asthma .
