Abstract excerpt
To investigate the pre-Golgi secretion pathway in the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans, we cloned the C. albicans homologue of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein secretion gene YPT1. The C. albicans YPT1 ORF contained a 624 bp intronless ORF encoding a deduced protein of 207 aa and 2.3 kDa. This deduced protein was 77% identical to S. cerevisiae Ypt1 protein (Ypt1p) and it contained GTP-binding domains that...
