Abstract excerpt
A synthetic gene encoding a 'consensus' calmodulin (synCaM) was able to substitute for the Saccharomyces cerevisiae calmodulin gene (CMDI), even though synCaM is only 60% identical in primary amino acid sequence to yeast Cmd1. Twelve different synCaM mutants were also expressed in yeast. Seven of the 12 mutant synCaMs supported germination and growth of Cmd1-deficient spores. Five of the 12 mutant synCaMs were...
