Abstract excerpt
Calmodulin (CAM) participates in a variety of intracellular transduction processes by modulating signaling molecules in response to calcium changes. We report the characterization of Drosophila Cam mutants and the role of CAM in photoreceptor cell function. Contrary to current models of excitation and TRP channel function, we demonstrate that the transient phenotype of trp mutants can be explained by CAM...
