A complete cDNA encoding y-tubulin protein from Anemia phyllitidis is presented. The deduced amino acid sequence shows an average similarity of 81-86~o to known y-tubulin genes from insects, mammals and fungi. Northern blots indicate the existence of transcripts of ca. 1.9 kb which are expressed dur

✦ Synopsis
Spores and prothallia of the fern Anemia phyllitidis L. Sw. contain a protein which in its physicochemical properties corresponds largely to calmodulin. It shows immunoreactivity with a calmodulin antiserum and activates bovine brain phosphodiesterase. Its content increases during the early processes of light-induced spore germination, indicating that the Ca(2+)-dependence of these processes may be mediated by this protein.

Calmodulin-like domain protein kinases (CDPKs) represent a new class of calciumdependent protein-phosphorylating enzymes that are not activated by calmodulin or phospholipid compounds. They have been found exclusively in plant and protozoal tissues. CDPKs are typified by four distinct domains: an N-
