2. Vinculin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinculin

   Vinculin is a cytoskeletal protein associated with cell-cell and cell-matrix junctions, where it is thought to function as one of several interacting proteins involved in anchoring F-actin to the membrane. Discovered independently by Benny Geiger [5] and Keith Burridge, [6] its sequence is 20%–30% similar to α-catenin, which serves a similar ...

3. Myosin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myosin

   Myosins (/ ˈ m aɪ ə s ɪ n,-oʊ-/ [1] [2]) are a family of motor proteins (though most often protein complexes) best known for their roles in muscle contraction and in a wide range of other motility processes in eukaryotes. They are ATP-dependent and responsible for actin-based motility. The first myosin (M2) to be discovered was in 1864 by ...

4. Protease inhibitor (biology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protease_inhibitor_(biology)

   The peptidase inhibitor family I36 domain is only found in a small number of proteins restricted to Streptomyces species. All have four conserved cysteines that probably form two disulphide bonds. One of these proteins from Streptomyces nigrescens, is the well characterised metalloproteinase inhibitor SMPI. [10] [11] The structure of SMPI has ...
