Abstract excerpt
In complex with the peptidyl-prolyl isomerase cyclophilin A, the immunosuppressive antifungal drug cyclosporin A (CsA) inhibits a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase, calcineurin, which regulates signal transduction. We isolated and characterized cyclophilin A mutations that confer CsA resistance in a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain whose growth is CsA-sensitive. Three mutations (G70S, H90Y, and G102A)...
