Abstract excerpt
In eukaryotes, several biological processes are regulated through calcium signaling. Calcineurin is a calcium-calmodulin-regulated serine/threonine phosphatase consisting of catalytic subunit A and regulatory subunit B. Phosphatase activity resides in the catalytic subunit, which activates by dephosphorylation downstream components such as transcription factor Crz1. The importance of this pathway to respond to...
