Abstract excerpt
Several transport systems play an important role in conferring multiple drug resistance, presumably due to their catalysis of the energy-dependent extrusion of a large number of structurally and functionally unrelated compounds out of the cells. In the present work, the gene named KNQ1 (encoding Kluyveromyces lactis membrane permease) was cloned by functional complementation of the cycloheximide-hypersensitivity...
