Neuronal calcium sensor-1 (Ncs1p) is up-regulated by calcineurin to promote Ca2+ tolerance in fission yeast.

Abstract excerpt

Neuronal calcium sensor (NCS) proteins regulate signal transduction and are highly conserved from yeast to humans. NCS homolog in fission yeast (Ncs1p) is essential for cell growth under extreme Ca(2+) conditions. Ncs1p expression increases approximately 100-fold when fission yeast grows in high extracellular Ca(2+) (>0.1 M). Here, we show that Ca(2+)-induced expression of Ncs1p is controlled at the level of...
