Abstract excerpt
Edelfosine is a prototypical member of the alkylphosphocholine class of antitumor drugs. Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used to screen for genes that modulate edelfosine cytotoxicity and identified sterol and sphingolipid pathways as relevant regulators. Edelfosine addition to yeast resulted in the selective partitioning of the essential plasma membrane protein Pma1p out of lipid rafts. Microscopic analysis...
