Article Description

The yeast and mycelial phases of Ceratocystis ulmi contained roughly equivalent levels of calmodulin activity as determined by their ability to stimulate calmodulin-deficient bovine brain cAMP phosphodiesterase. This stimulation was calcium-dependent and could be inhibited by either dibucaine or trifluoperazine. Also, the concentration of dibucaine necessary to achieve the mycelium-to-yeast morphological conversion was found to be 3-fold greater in the presence of exogenous calcium. A model is presented in which only 30% of the cellular calmodulin need be complexed with calcium ions for mycelial development. © 1986.
