Saccharomyces cerevisiae genomic clones that encode calmodulin-binding proteins were isolated by screening a lambda-gt11 expression library using I-125-labeled calmodulin as probe. Among the cloned yeast genes, we found two closely related genes (CMP1 and CMP2) that encode proteins homologous to the catalytic subunit of phosphoprotein phosphatase. The presumed CMP1 protein (62999 Da) and CMP2 protein (68496 Da) contain a 23 amino acid sequence very similar to those identified as calmodulin-binding sites in many calmodulin-regulated proteins. The yeast genes encode proteins especially homologous to the catalytic subunit of mammalian phosphorprotein phosphatase type 2B (calcineurin). The products of the CMP1 and CMP2 genes were identified by immunoblot analysis of cell extracts as proteins of 62000 and 64000 Da, respectively. Gene disruption experiments demonstrated that elimination of either or both of these genes had no effect on cell viability, indicating that these genes are not essential for normal cell growth.
