Abstract excerpt
A cls5-1 mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is specifically sensitive to high concentrations of Ca2+, with elevated intracellular calcium content and altered cell morphology in the presence of 100 mM Ca2+. To reveal the mechanisms of the Ca2+-sensitive phenotype, we investigated the gene responsible and its interacting network. We demonstrated that CLS5 is identical to PFY1, encoding profilin. Involvement of...
