Understanding the molecular functions of neuronal calcium sensor 1 in neurospora crassa

Abstract

Neuronal calcium sensor 1 NCS 1 belongs to the neuronal calcium sensor family of proteins consisting of N terminal myristoylation domain and four conserved calcium Ca2 binding EF hand domains NCS 1 is a highly conserved protein from lower to higher eukaryotes In mammals NCS 1 is a very important protein as it is associated with synaptic transmission memory and learning In Neurospora crassa NCS 1 plays an important role in vegetative growth Ca2 and ultraviolet stress survival The mol newline newline
