We propose a structural model of Candida cylindracea lipase (CCL) based on the reported X-ray structure of the highly homologous Geotrichum candidum lipase (GCL). The network of interactions around the active site, the salt and disulfide bridge pattern is conserved in the proposed structure. Functional, structural and evolutionary aspects of the peculiar usage of CTG codons by C. cylindracea ATCC 14830 are discussed.
