Based on these findings, and the presence of a Cet1 homolog in the Apergillus fumigatus proteome, we conclude that RNA triphosphatase is a valid target for antifungal drug development.
The deleted segment contains the catalytic domain essential for triphosphatase activity in vitro and for complementation of the cet1Δ strain of S. cerevisiae [ 10 11 ] . Second, we introduced the linearized deletion allele into a diploid C. albicans ura3/ura3 arg4/arg4 strain and selected for Arg +transformants.
Searches of public genome databases indicate that Aspergillus fumigatus (a major invasive pathogen in humans, with severe morbidity and mortality) encodes a homolog of Cet1, as does Neurospora crassa.
This is not a straw-man issue, given that S. cerevisiae encodes two homologous RNA triphosphatases (Cet1 and Cth1), of which only Cet1 is essential for capping and cell viability [ 8 15 ] . We use classical genetic approaches to show that the respective genes encoding RNA triphosphatase and RNA guanylyltransferase are essential in S. pombe.
To address these issues, we have characterized the RNA triphosphatases of two other fungi, including the human pathogen Candida albicans and the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe [ 10 11 12 ] . The fungal triphosphatases, S. cerevisiae Cet1, C. albicans CaCet1 and S. pombe Pct1, belong to a new family of metal-dependent phosphohydrolases that embraces the triphosphatase components of DNA virus and protozoan mRNA capping systems [ 1 7 13 14 ] . The defining features of the metal-dependent RNA triphosphatases are two glutamate-containing motifs that are required for catalysis and comprise the metal-binding site in the crystal structure of S. cerevisiae Cet1.
