Abstract excerpt
The ldmdr1 gene that confers resistance to multiple structurally dissimilar hydrophobic drugs in Leishmania donovani has been isolated within a 5.4-kb XmaI fragment from a genomic library of L. donovani DNA and its protein coding region sequenced. The longest open reading frame within ldmdr1 encodes a 146.5-kDa protein of 1341 amino acids, designated LDMDR1. The primary structure and predicted membrane topology...
