摘要
A full-length genomic DNA fragment that codes for a novel EF-hand protein from Dictyostelium discoideum was cloned and sequenced, The protein is composed of 168 amino acids and contains four consensus sequences that are typical for Ca2+-binding EF-hand domains. The protein sequence exhibits only minor similarities to other calmodulin-type proteins from Dictyostelium. The genomic DNA harbors two short introns; their positions suggest that the gene is unrelated to the EF-hand proteins from the calmodulin group, Northern blot analysis showed that the mRNA level was significantly increased during development, Polyclonal antibodies raised against the recombinant protein recognized in Western blots a protein of about 20 kDa, Like the mRNA, also the protein was more abundant in developing cells, Overlay experiments with Ca-45(2+) indicated that the EF-hands in fact have Ca2+-binding activity, The recent description of CBP1, another calmodulin-type Dictyostelium protein that is upregulated during development [Coukell et al, (1995) FEES Lett, 362, 342-346], suggests that D, discoideum contains a family of EF-hand proteins that have specific functions during distinct steps of development, We therefore designate the protein described in this report as CBP2.
