Question
Gelsolins (“jell-SOL-ins”) degrade hydrogels containing this protein into sols. Listeria forms “comet tails” of this protein to rocket its way through cells. Microscopists image this protein by tagging it with the death cap mushroom’s phalloidin (“fuh-LOY-din”) toxin. At intracellular concentrations that can exceed a millimolar, this protein’s globular monomer devours ATP to rapidly polymerize. A cocked head forms a cross-bridge with this protein and pushes (*) long threads of it backwards during a power stroke. Assembly of this protein’s fibers at the cell’s leading edge or inside pseudo·podia provides flexibility to the cytoskeleton. For 10 points, name this protein which forms thinner filaments than tubulin and slides past myosin during muscle contraction. ■END■
