title: Molecular cloning of a gene encoding phospholipase D from the pathogenic and dimorphic fungus, Candida albicans.
abstract: A phospholipase D gene (CaPLD) has been cloned from the Candida albicans genomic DNA library. The CaPLD is a member of a highly conserved gene family of PLD and has the highest homology to Saccharomyces cerevisiae PLD (SPO14) with an overall homology of 42%. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that fungus PLDs including CaPLD composed one of the three clusters of PLD genes.
