Abstract excerpt
Entamoeba histolytica contains a novel calcium-binding protein like calmodulin,which was discovered earlier,and we have reported the presence of its homologue(s)and a dependent protein kinase in plants.To understand the functions of these in plants,a cDNA encoding a calcium-binding protein isolated from Entamoeba histolytica (EhCaBP)was cloned into vector pBI121 in antisense orientation and transgenic tobacco...
