Functional Dissection of a Candida albicans Zinc Cluster Transcription Factor, the Multidrug Resistance Regulator Mrr1
18 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
The overexpression of the MDR1 gene, which encodes a multidrug efflux pump of the major facilitator superfamily, is a frequent cause of resistance to the widely used antimycotic agent fluconazole and other toxic compounds in the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans. The zinc cluster transcription factor Mrr1 controls MDR1 expression in response to inducing chemicals, and gain-of-function mutations in MRR1 are...
