Structure and sequence of the calmodulin gene from Neurospora crassa

cDNA and genomic clones of Neurospora calmodulin were obtained by PCR. Characterization revealed an open reading frame encoding a predicted protein of 149 amino acids, showing 85% identity to the human calmodulin protein sequence. Comparison of the cDNA and genomic sequence reveals the position of f...

More Information
Summary:cDNA and genomic clones of Neurospora calmodulin were obtained by PCR. Characterization revealed an open reading frame encoding a predicted protein of 149 amino acids, showing 85% identity to the human calmodulin protein sequence. Comparison of the cDNA and genomic sequence reveals the position of five introns, organized differently than is found in calmodulin genes from higher eukaryotes.
