Abstract excerpt

Approximately 4,800 Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants deleted for nonessential genes were screened for alterations in susceptibility to a synthetic killer peptide (KP). None of the tested strains, including mutants resistant to conventional antifungal drugs, showed increased or decreased susceptibility to KP in comparison with the parental strain. The results may reflect the peculiar mechanism of action of KP and...
