SUMMARYThe complete sequence of the cDNA encoding a 20 kDa calcium-binding protein of Schistosoma mansoni (Sm20) has been determined. The predicted amino acid sequence contains 4 EF hand domains but examination of the predicted secondary structure of Sm20, together with the specific residues in each calcium-binding domain, suggests that only 1 EF hand (domain IV) is functional. Sm20 is most homologous to calmodulin, troponin C and the regulatory light-chain of myosin, particularly those of invertebrates. However, troponin C and the regulatory light-chain of myosin can be distinguished from Sm20 by size and by their differential levels of expression during the life-cycle. Sm20 also appears to be distinct from calmodulin but may be functionally equivalent to the soluble sarcoplasmic calcium-binding proteins of molluscs and crustacea which may act as a reservoir for calcium in muscle. Sm20 is encoded by a small multi-gene family whose members are clustered within a 15 kb region of the genome. A 20 kDa antigen, cross-reactive with Sm20, is expressed in Schistosoma haematobium, Fasciola hepatica and Paragonomus mexicanus.
