2012, International Journal for ParasitologyCitation Excerpt :Paralogs of the enzyme phosphoglucomutase (PGM) exist in various eukaryotes and function in calcium-mediated signaling events (Kim et al., 1992). This PGM paralog is called PFUS in Paramecium (Satir et al., 1989) and PRP1 in Toxoplasma (Matthiesen et al., 2001, 2003), with a putative ortholog also being present in the Plasmodium genome (Kats et al., 2008). RNA interference (RNAi) knock-down of PFUS in P. tetraurelia results in failed assembly of the DCSVs, which is consistent with a function in the secretory vesicle scaffold of DCSVs (Liu et al., 2011).

2012, Cell CalciumCitation Excerpt :A 63 kDa-phosphoprotein, pp63, is dephosphorylated during synchronous trichocyst exocytosis in parallel with ATP decay (≤5 s) and rephosphorylated during ATP recovery (≥20 s), as summarized previously [424]. This protein was identified in Paramecium as phosphoglucomutase, PGM [425]; it was also found in Toxoplasma [426]. Based on its sensitivity to PP2B/CaN and to a Ca2+-inhibitable protein kinase we derived a Ca2+-sensitive de-/rephosphorylation cycle for pp63/PGM in connection with the mobilization of glucose for glycolysis [424,427] in spatially restricted cortical areas where pp63/PGM is enriched [428].
