Abstract excerpt
Mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae lacking activity of the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase calcineurin, show sensitivity to high concentrations of sodium that is partly reversed by the external supply of Ca2+. On long-time exposure to NaCl stress the mutants display an increased in...
