Tetracycline-Regulatable System To Tightly Control Gene Expression in the Pathogenic Fungus Candida albicans
TL;DR: A convenient system to control gene expression in C. albicans by the tetracycline-regulatable (TR) promoters is developed, able to function in both in vitro and in vivo settings, and is useful for investigating gene functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The selective class I PI3K inhibitor CH5132799 targets human cancers harboring oncogenic PIK3CA mutations.
Hiroshi Tanaka,Miyuki Yoshida,Hiromi Tanimura,Toshihiko Fujii,Kiyoaki Sakata,Yukako Tachibana,Jun Ohwada,Hirosato Ebiike,Shino Kuramoto,Keiichi Morita,Yasushi Yoshimura,Toshikazu Yamazaki,Nobuya Ishii,Osamu Kondoh,Yuko Aoki +14 more
TL;DR: CH5132799 is a selective class I PI3K inhibitor with potent antitumor activity against tumors harboring the PIK3CA mutations, which could enable patient stratification in clinical settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological characterization of cyclothialidine, a new DNA gyrase inhibitor.
Naoki Nakada,Hisao Shimada,Takahiro Hirata,Yuko Aoki,Tsutomu Kamiyama,J. Watanabe,Mikio Arisawa +6 more
TL;DR: Results provide a basis for cyclothialidine to be a lead structure for novel antibacterial agents with DNA gyrase inhibitory activities and suggest that it can enter the cells of Eubacterium and exert antibacterial activity through interference with the DNA g Kyrase within the cells, although its penetration into most bacterial cells appears to be poor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Depletion of the Squalene Synthase (ERG9) Gene Does Not Impair Growth of Candida glabrata in Mice
TL;DR: It is shown that squalene synthase could not be a suitable target of antifungals for the treatment of C. glabrata infection because the cells were able to incorporate cholesterol from the serum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antifungal azoxybacilin exhibits activity by inhibiting gene expression of sulfite reductase.
TL;DR: It is concluded that azoxybacilin exhibits antifungal activity by interfering with the regulation of expression of sulfite reductase activity.
