Distribution of adenylyl cyclase/cAMP phosphodiesterase gene, CAPE, in streptophytes reproducing via motile sperm
Abstract We recently isolated a novel adenylyl cyclase/cAMP phosphodiesterase gene from the liverwort, Marchantia polymorpha. The protein encoded by this gene has a class III adenylyl cyclase (AC) in the C-terminal domain and class I phosphodiesterase (PDE) in the N-terminal domain; therefore, we na...
