Azole antifungals inhibit CYP51A1-mediated sterol 14 alpha-demethylation and the mechanism(s) of resistance to such compounds in Ustilago maydis were examined. The inhibition of growth was correlated with the accumulation of the substrate, 24-methylene-24,25-dihydrolanosterol (eburicol), and depletion of ergosterol. Mutants overcoming the effect of azole antifungal treatment exhibited a unique phenotype with...
