Functional Analysis of cis - and trans -Acting Elements of the Candida albicans CDR2 Promoter with a Novel Promoter Reporter System
27 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
Azole resistance in Candida albicans can be mediated by the upregulation of the ATP binding cassette transporter genes CDR1 and CDR2. Both genes are regulated by a cis-acting element called the drug-responsive element (DRE), with the consensus sequence 5'-CGGAWATCGGATATTTTTTT-3', and the transcription factor Tac1p. In order to analyze in detail the DRE sequence necessary for the regulation of CDR1 and CDR2 and...
