Journal ArticleDOI

Azole fungicides - understanding resistance mechanisms in agricultural fungal pathogens.

TL;DR: An overview of the problem is given and the mechanisms that mediate azole resistance in agriculture are discussed (point mutations in the CYP51 amino acid sequence, overexpression of the CyP51 enzyme and overexpressing of genes encoding efflux pump proteins).
Journal ArticleDOI

Resistance to antifungals that target CYP51

TL;DR: Progress made in understanding azole resistance found amongst clinically and agriculturally important fungal species focussing on resistance mechanisms associated with CYP51 is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Investigational Drug VT-1129 Is a Highly Potent Inhibitor of Cryptococcus Species CYP51 but Only Weakly Inhibits the Human Enzyme

TL;DR: The cellular mode of action for VT-1129 was confirmed to be CYP51 inhibition, resulting in the depletion of ergosterol and ergosta-7-enol and the accumulation of eburicol, obtusifolione, and lanosterol/obtusIFoliol in the cell membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the occurrence of cytochrome P450 in viruses.

TL;DR: The findings herald an era of research regarding the evolution of this important gene family, with implications for understanding the biology and the origin of the giant viruses themselves, and present potential drug targets for giant viruses that may be human pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

In Vitro Biochemical Study of CYP51-Mediated Azole Resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus

TL;DR: The AfCPR1/Af51 assay system demonstrated the biochemical basis for the increased azole resistance of A. fumigatus strains harboring G54W, L98H, and M220K Af51A point mutations.
