The calmodulin protein antagonists, trifluoperazine (TFP) and chlorpromazine (CPZ) inhibit the growth, carotenoids accumulation and sexual development of Neurospora crassa. In addition, N. crassa strains lacking trm-9, a cation-ATPase, showed defect in growth. Moreover, strains lacking both trm-9 and another Ca2+-ATPase nca-2, exhibited a severe growth defect, an increased sensitivity to CaCl2, and a reduction in acquisition of thermotolerance induced by heat shock temperature. Therefore, the cmd, trm-9, and nca-2 play a role in growth, survival in calcium stress and induced heat shock temperature in N. crassa.
