    Abstract Calcineurin is a calcium/calmodulin dependent protein phosphatase in eukaryotes that consists of a catalytic subunit A and a regulatory subunit B. Previous studies in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa had suggested that the catalytic subunit of calcineurin might be an essential protein. We generated N. crassa strains expressing the A (cna-1) and B (cnb-1) subunit genes under the regulation of Ptcu-1, a copper-responsive promoter. In these strains, addition of bathocuproinedisulfonic acid (BCS), a copper chelator, results in induction of cna-1 and cnb-1, while excess Cu2+ represses gene expression. Through analysis of these strains under repressing and inducing conditions, we found that the calcineurin is required for normal growth, asexual development and female fertility in N. crassa. Moreover, we isolated and analyzed cnb-1 mutant alleles generated by repeat-induced point mutation (RIP), with the results further supporting roles for calcineurin in growth and fertility in N. crassa. We demonstrated a direct interaction between the CNA-1 and CNB-1 proteins using an assay system developed to study protein-protein interactions in N. crassa.

    Abstract The neuronal calcium sensor-1 (NCS-1) possesses a consensus signal for N-terminal myristoylation and four EF-hand Ca(2+)-binding sites, and mediates the effects of cytosolic Ca(2+). Minute changes in free intracellular Ca(2+) are quickly transformed into changes in the activity of several kinases including calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (Ca(2+)/CaMKs) that are involved in regulating many eukaryotic cell functions. However, our current knowledge of NCS-1 and Ca(2+)/CaMKs comes mostly from studies of the mammalian enzymes. Thus far very few fungal homologues of NCS-1 and Ca(2+)/CaMKs have been characterized and little is known about their cellular roles. In this minireview, we describe the known sequences, interactions with target proteins and cellular roles of NCS-1 and Ca(2+)/CaMKs in fungi.

    Abstract NCU04379 gene encodes a conserved Ca(2+) and/or calmodulin binding protein that possesses a consensus signal for N-terminal myristoylation and four EF-hands, characteristics of Neuronal Calcium Sensor-1proteins. The NCU04379.2 knockout mutant shows slow growth rate, increased sensitivity to calcium and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, and a wild-type fragment carrying NCU04379 gene complements the mutant. Therefore, NCU04379 gene has a role in growth, calcium stress tolerance, and UV survival. Crosses homozygous for ΔNCU04379.2 mutant strains were fully fertile; however, we found evidence for involvement of Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase encoding genes NCU02283 and NCU09123 in sexual development.

    Abstract The neuronal calcium sensor-1 (NCS-1) possesses a consensus signal for N-terminal myristoylation and four EF-hand Ca²⁺-binding sites, and mediates the effects of cytosolic Ca²⁺.
