Abstract excerpt
As a first step toward identifying the important structural elements of calmodulin from Schizosaccharomyces pombe, we examined the ability of heterologous calmodulins and Ca(2+)-binding site mutant S. pombe calmodulins to replace the essential cam1+ gene. A cDNA encoding vertebrate calmodulin allows growth of S. pombe. However, calmodulin from Saccharomyces cerevisiae does not support growth even though the...
