Abstract

As in other eukaryotic cells, fungal cytosolic calcium cation concentrations are maintained at extreme low level to function as the second messenger. On the contrary, high concentrations of Ca2+ are immediately available for influx from outside of the cell into the cytoplasm and the intracellular Ca2+ stores, to transmit a variety of intracellular or extracellular cues. The Ca2+ channels, pumps, exchangers, and antiporters localized in the membrane as well as Ca2+ sensors with their signal effectors in the cytoplasm are highly networked to regulate, conduct, and translate various signals. Here, we retrospect the relative knowledge and advantages on Ca2+ cycling and signaling pathways, especially in the fungal kingdom.
