Abstract

A modulator factor with properties similar to those of calmodulin was found and partially purified from the soluble fraction of Mucor rouxii. These properties include: heat-stability, stimulation in a Ca2+-dependent fashion of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase from bovine brain, and inhibition of this process by trifluoperazine. This calmodulin-like activity was detected in the soluble fraction of both mycelium and yeast-like cells of the fungus.
