Abstract excerpt
The RNA triphosphatase component (CaCet1p) of the mRNA capping apparatus of the pathogenic fungus Candida albicans differs mechanistically and structurally from the RNA triphosphatase of mammals. Hence, CaCet1p is an attractive antifungal target. Here we identify a C-terminal catalytic domain of CaCet1p from residue 257 to 520 and characterize a manganese-dependent and cobalt-dependent NTPase activity intrinsic...
