    AnnotationThe genes APR1 and CPY1 of the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans encode vacuolar aspartic protease and serine carboxypeptidase, respectively. Transcription of both APR1 and CPY1 was upregulated in mid-exponential phase, together with increasing size of the vacuoles, when C. albicans was cultivated in a rich medium at 30 °C. However, simultaneous up-regulation of protein synthesis occurred only for Cpy1p. Analysis of APR1 and CPY1 expression under nitrogen limited conditions revealed, that the genes were regulated on both the transcriptional and translational level and detectable amounts of Apr1p were synthesized only when C. albicans was grown in nitrogen limited media.
