Identification of promoter elements responsible for the regulation of MDR1 from Candida albicans, a major facilitator transporter involved in azole resistance
1 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
Upregulation of the MDR1 (multidrug resistance 1) gene is involved in the development of resistance to antifungal agents in clinical isolates of the pathogen Candida albicans. To better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the phenomenon, the cis-acting regulatory elements present in the MDR1 promoter were characterized using a beta-galactosidase reporter system. In an azole-susceptible strain,...
