The identification of signal-transduction components in plant cells is proceeding on an almost daily basis. In this issue, Kudla et al. (1) continue this important process by describing the isolation and characterization of regulatory subunits of calcineurin, a Ca21ycalmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase. Since the pioneering work of Cohen (2) and collaborators, biologists have classified pro...
