Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Calcineurin, the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase, plays important roles in various cellular processes in lower and higher eukaryotes. Here we analyze the role of calcineurin in the development of Dictyostelium discoideum by RNAi-mediated manipulation of its expression. RESULTS: The cnbA gene of Dictyostelium discoideum which encodes the regulatory B subunit (CNB) of calcineurin was...
