Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein
The Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome Protein (WASp) is a 502-
amino acid protein that is expressed in cells of the
hematopoietic system. In the inactive state, WASp exists in an auto-inhibited conformation with sequences near its
C-terminus binding to a region near its
N-terminus. Its activation is dependent upon
Cdc42 and
PIP2 acting to disrupt this interaction causing the WASp protein to 'open'. This exposes a domain near the WASp C-Terminus that binds to and activates the
Arp2/3 complex. Activated Arp2/3
nucleates new F-
actin. WASp is the founding member of a gene family which also includes the broadly expressed N-WASP (neuronal Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome protein), and Scar.

About
Wasp
Wasps, if seen in dreams, denotes that enemies will scourge and spitefully villify you.
If one stings you, you will feel the effect of envy and hatred. To kill them, you will be able to throttle your enemies, and fearlessly maintain your rights.
