Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have suggested that yeast strains lacking the Ca(2+)-ATPase Pmr1p are unable to maintain an adequate level of Ca(2+) within the Golgi apparatus. It is thought that this compartmental store depletion induces a signal that causes an increased rate of Ca(2+) uptake and accumulation in a manner similar to the capacitative Ca(2+) entry (CCE) response in non-excitable mammalian cells. To explore this...
