Abstract excerpt
Implication of the ubiquitous, highly conserved, Ca2+ sensor calmodulin (CaM) in pea seed germination has been investigated. Mass spectrometry analysis of purified CaM revealed the coexistence in seeds of three protein isoforms, diverging from each other by single amino acid substitution in the N-terminal alpha-helix. CaM was shown to be encoded by a small multigenic family, and full-length cDNAs of the three...
