Abstract excerpt
Calcineurin plays a critical role in Ca(2+) signaling in various cell types. In fission yeast, calcineurin is required for cytokinesis and chloride ion homeostasis. However, most of its physiological functions remain obscure. A genetic screen was performed to identify genes that share an essential function with calcineurin. We screened for mutations that confer sensitivity to the calcineurin inhibitor FK506 and...
