DNAse I binds this protein with very high affinity to prevent DNA auto-cleavage.
DNAse I binds this protein with very high affinity to prevent DNA auto-cleavage. Listeria monocytogenes hijacks a cell's machinery for producing this protein. Phalloidin, the poison from the death cap mushroom, inhibits the nucleation of this protein, which is catalyzed by the Arp 2/3 complex and by formins. When the intracellular concentration of this protein is intermediate between two critical concentrations, treadmilling occurs. When monomeric, this protein is (*) globular and prefixed by the letter F. ATP binds to this protein when it polymerizes into fibers that make up the spindle apparatus in dividing cells. For 10 points, name this protein that makes up microfilaments and slides along myosin during muscle contraction.
