Abstract excerpt
From an mRNA differential-display analysis of the encystment-excystment cycle of the ciliate Sterkiella histriomuscorum, we have isolated an expressed sequence tag encoding a plasma membrane-type Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA). PMCAs are located either in the plasma membranes or in the membranes of intracellular organelles, and their function is to pump calcium either out of the cell or into the intracellular calcium stores,...
