“…Pde2 is a high-affinity PDEase that is represented in organisms ranging from yeast to mammals (7). In contrast, Pde1, the low-affinity PDEase, is less well characterized but is found in a range of organisms, including S. cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Candida albicans, Dictyostelium discoideum, Vibrio fischeri, Leishmania mexicana, Trypanosoma brucei, and Trypanosoma cruzi (9,11,14,22,27,28,34,39).…”
