Tetrahymena calcium-binding protein is indeed a calmodulin. Abstract Text:

Y Suzuki,S Nagao,K Abe,T Hirabayashi,Y Watanabe,

We previously isolated a Ca2+-binding protein from a ciliate, Tetrahymena, and designated it as TCBP (Tetrahymena Ca2+-binding protein). The present paper reports that TCBP, which has two high affinity Ca2+-binding sites (Kd=4.6 X 10(-6) M), could activate porcine brain cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase at a concentration of over 10(-6) M free Ca2+, with the same mode of activation as that of authentic (porcine brain) calmodulin. In addition, the amino acid composition of TCBP was essentially the same as that of brain calmodulin. Therefore, we conclude that TCBP as an activator of Tetrahymena guanylate cyclase is indeed a calmodulin.
