There is a paper from Roger Tsiens lab where they fused two
spectral variants of GFP to calmodulin.  The resulting molecule was able
to serve as a measure of intracellular Ca2+ by FRET.  See:

Nature 1997 Aug 28;388(6645):882-7 Related Articles, Books, LinkOut 

Fluorescent indicators for Ca2+ based on green fluorescent proteins and
calmodulin.
