Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular cloning and characterization of a novel gene of Candida albicans, CDR1, conferring multiple resistance to drugs and antifungals.
TL;DR: By functional complementation of a PDR5 null mutant of Saccharomyces cervisiae, the multidrug-resistance gene CDR1 of Candida albicans is cloned and sequenced, revealing that it encodes a putative membrane pump belonging to the ABC (ATP-binding cassette) superfamily.
Journal ArticleDOI
PDR5, a novel yeast multidrug resistance conferring transporter controlled by the transcription regulator PDR1.
TL;DR: The complete sequence of the pleiotropic drug resistance gene PDR5 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is reported and analyzed and is found to be a new member of the ABC (ATP-binding cassette) protein superfamily.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic efflux pumps.
TL;DR: The existence of antibiotic efflux pumps, and their impact on therapy, must be taken fully into account for the selection of novel antimicrobials, and the design of specific, potent inhibitors appears to be an important goal for the improved control of infectious diseases in the near future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome microarray analysis of transcriptional activation in multidrug resistance yeast mutants
Joseph L. DeRisi,Bart van den Hazel,Philippe Marc,Elisabetta Balzi,Patrick O. Brown,Claude Jacq,André Goffeau +6 more
TL;DR: The cDNA from activated mutants of the homologous transcription factors Pdr1p and Pdr3p was used to screen DNA microarrays of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae complete genome and twenty‐six overexpressed targets of the PDR1–3 and/or PDR3–7 mutants were identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Yeast multidrug resistance: The PDR network
Elisabetta Balzi,André Goffeau +1 more
TL;DR: A network of genes involved in multiple drug resistance of the yeastS.
