Minor structural consequences of alternative CUG codon usage (Ser for Leu) in Candida albicans exoglucanase

Abstract excerpt

In some species of Candida the CUG codon is encoded as serine and not leucine. In the case of the exo-beta-1,3-glucanase from the pathogenic fungus C. albicans there are two such translational events, one in the prepro-leader sequence and the other at residue 64. Overexpression of active mature enzyme in a yeast host indicated that these two positions are tolerant to substitution. By comparing the crystal...
