A novel protein kinase induced during sporangial cleavage in the oomycete phytophthora infestans

摘要

Nucleotide sequences are isolated from Phytophthora infestants that code for proteins implicated in fungal growth and development. In particular, a kinase is described. The essentiality 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.
