Abstract excerpt
Kluyveromyces lactis Upc2p is an ortholog of Upc2p/Ecm22p transcription factors involved in regulation of sterol import and sterol homeostasis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this work, we investigated the role of Upc2p in K. lactis. The absence of KlUpc2p significantly reduced the tolerance of mutant cells to antifungal azoles and Li+ cations. Reduced expression of genes from the late ergosterol pathway results...
