Abstract excerpt
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae MID1 gene encodes a stretch-activated Ca(2+)-permeable channel. In a protein database, we found a Schizosaccharomyces pombe gene whose predicted protein shows 26% identical and 62% similar to the Mid1 channel in amino acid sequence. cDNA derived from this gene, designated yam8(+), was isolated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Further analysis showed that...
