Abstract excerpt
CaNdt80p, the Candida albicans homologue of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae transcription factor ScNdt80p, has been identified as a positive regulator of CDR1, which encodes an efflux pump involved in drug resistance in C. albicans. To investigate the involvement of the putative DNA-binding domain of CaNdt80p in drug resistance, chimeras of CaNdt80p and ScNdt80p were constructed. Interestingly, the DNA-binding...
