The third year grader in the year 2001 allotted to the Department of Chemistry carried out the following studies. The student was given arbitrarily a clone from the cDNA library of a phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium moniliforme and sequenced the insert of the clone. The clone contained a partial length cDNA encoding a hypothetical protein of unknown function. The protein has a highly charged region which presunrably assumes an α-helix. Similar structural motifs have been reported in various proteins including mammalian caldesmon.
