We have cloned a Candida albicans gene, which encodes a cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDEase), by complementation in a Saccharomyces cerevisiae PDEase-deficient mutant. The deduced amino acid sequence is similar to that of the low-affinity PDEase of S. cerevisiae (PDE1) and the cyclic nucleotide PDEase (PD) of Dictyostelium discoideum. Biochemical analysis of recombinant protein produced in S. cerevisiae indicated that the enzyme behaves as a PDE1 homologue: it hydrolyses both cAMP (Km = 0.49 mM) and cGMP (Km = 0.25 mM), does not require divalent cations for maximal activity and is only moderately inhibited by millimolar concentrations of standard PDEase inhibitors. Based on these data, we designate the C. albicans we have cloned, PDE1. Low-stringency genomic Southern blots showed cross-hybridization between C. albicans PDE1 and DNA from Candida stellatoidea, but not with DNA from S. cerevisiae or several closely related Candida species.

D006152 Cyclic GMP Guanosine cyclic 3',5'-(hydrogen phosphate). A guanine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to the sugar moiety in both the 3'- and 5'-positions. It is a cellular regulatory agent and has been described as a second messenger. Its levels increase in response to a variety of hormones, including acetylcholine, insulin, and oxytocin and it has been found to activate specific protein kinases.
