Abstract excerpt
The Ca(2+)/calmodulin-stimulated protein phosphatase calcineurin is a critical component of Ca(2+) signaling cascades in eukaryotic cells. Myristoylation of the regulatory subunit of calcineurin (CNB) is conserved from yeast to humans. Here, we show that CNB myristoylation antagonizes phosphatase activation in yeast. Disruption of CNB myristoylation by mutation of the myristoylated glycine triggered constitutive...
