Abstract excerpt
Penta-EF-hand (PEF) proteins bind calcium and participate in a variety of calcium-dependent processes in vertebrates. In yeast, intracellular cations regulate processes like cell division and polarized growth. This study reports the identification of a unique PEF protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae encoded by the uncharacterized open reading frame YGR058w. Pef1p has a long and unstructured N-terminal domain...
