Abstract excerpt
The yeast PDR5 gene encodes an efflux pump that confers multidrug resistance. Expression of PDR5 is positively regulated by the transcription factors Pdr1p and Pdr3p that recognize the same pleiotropic drug resistance elements (PDREs) in the PDR5 promoter. Pdr1p and Pdr3p belong to the Gal4p family of zinc cluster proteins. The function of RDR1 (YOR380W), which also encodes a member of this family, is unknown. To...
