Abstract
1. Calmodulin (CaM) was detected during secretion of electron-dense granules by Entamoeba histolytica trophozoites with immunofluorescence. 2. It was purified to apparent homogeneity by chromatography with a yield of 2.26 micrograms of calmodulin/mg of protozoan protein. Purity was established by gel electrophoresis. 3. The parasite calmodulin has properties characteristic of calmodulin isolated from other eukaryotes: an apparent molecular weight of 19 or 17 kDa in presence of EGTA or CaCl2, respectively, activation in a calcium dependent manner of bovine heart cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, and its UV spectrum.Entities:
