Abstract excerpt
As a mammalian p-glycoprotein homolog, Pdr5p is a major ATP-binding cassette transporter for cellular detoxification in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this study, two novel loss-of-function mutations located adjacent to the ends of the predicted transmembrane helices of Pdr5p were identified. C793F and S1230L mutations considerably impaired the transport activity of Pdr5p without affecting the ATPase...
