Abstract excerpt
Almost all eukaryotic mRNAs are capped at their 5'-terminus. Capping is crucial for stability, processing, nuclear export and efficient translation of mRNA. We studied the phenotypic effects elicited by depleting a Candida albicans strain of mRNA 5'-guanylyltransferase (mRNA capping enzyme; CGT1). Construction of a Cgt1-deficient mutant was achieved by URA-blaster-mediated genetic disruption of one allele of the...
