Abstract excerpt
Abstract Saccharomyces cerevisiae has only one putative gene (designated CPL1) for a cysteine protease with a protease domain similar to that of calpain. This gene product shows significant sequence similarity to PalBp, a fungal (Emericella nidulans) calpain-like protease that is responsible for adaptation under alkaline conditions, both in the protease domain and the domain following the protease domain. CPL1...
