Teacher:In this task you will be given a text passage from a trivia quiz. You should choose the category this question belongs to from these categories: History, Science, Social Science, Fine Arts, Literature. You can only choose one category, so if in doubt, please choose the closest match.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: One protein that binds to this protein also binds to proline-rich sequences in the membrane proteins Vasp and Mena, and another is knocked out in the singed mutant. Phosphatidyl-inositol-4,5-bisphosphate regulates the binding of vinculin to both talin and this other protein, whose function is performed by nematode Major Sperm Protein in the only (*) eukaryotic cells known to lack one form of it. In addition to the aforementioned profilin and facsin, severin and gelsolin bind to this protein and sever it. Two toxins often used to study it are cytochalasins and phalloidin. Thymosin 4 sequesters this protein, which undergoes treadmilling because the critical concentration at its (+) and (-) ends is not the same. This protein consists of G monomers which polymerize into F filaments, which make up the microfilaments of the cytoskeleton. For 10 points, name this protein that forms cross-bridges with myosin in muscle cells.
