摘要
Type 2C protein phosphatases (PP2C) are monomeric enzymes and their activities require the presence of magnesium or manganese ions. There are seven PP2C genes. named from PTC1 to PTC7. in Saccharomyces cerevrsiae. In the current study we identified the CaPTC4 gene in Candida albicans and demonstrated the CaPtc4p protein is a typical PP2C enzyme. which is highly conserved in fungal species. Deletion of CaPTC4 renders Candida cells sensitive: to sodium and potassium ions as well as for antifungal azole drugs. In addition. we have shown that CaPtc4p is localized in the mitochondrion. suggesting that CaPtc4p is likely to lie involved in the regulation of a mitochondrial function related too ion homeostasis.
