title: Identification of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase and endogenous substrate of Fusarium oxysporum.
abstract: Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation and cross-reactivity between anti-rat brain Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMK) antibody and partially purified CaMK from Fusarium oxysporum were detected in the component of high-molecular mass (M(r) greater than 100,000). In vitro, Ca2+/CaM-dependent phosphorylation of only a 16-kDa protein was detected. The 16-kDa protein was localized in the membrane fraction. Amino acid sequence of one of the peptides derived from partial hydrolysis of the 16-kDa protein had a high homology (65.5%) with the bovine transducin beta chain. It is assumed that the 16-kDa protein is an endogenous substrate of F. oxysporum CaMK.
