Abstract excerpt
The target of the immunosuppressants cyclosporin A(CsA) and FK506 is calcineurin, a highly conserved protein phosphatase that is required for T-cell activation and the regulation of ion homeostasis in yeast. Here we identify two genes, PMR2B and LIC4 which, when overexpressed, suppress the cation-sensitive phenotype of yeast cells lacking calcineurin. PMR2B encodes a Na+/Li+-specific plasma membrane pump and is...
