Phytophthora infestans cdc 14 phosphatase gene, protein and methods of use

摘要

Nucleotide sequences are isolated from Phytophthora infestans that code for proteins essential for fungal growth and development. In particular, the cdc14 phosphatase is described. The essentially of the proteins is exploited by recombinantly expressing the proteins and using them in screening assays to identify compounds that interact with or inhibit the proteins and are therefore fungicides.
