A Ste6p/P‐glycoprotein homologue from the asexual yeast <i>Candida albicans</i> transports the a‐factor mating pheromone in <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i>
1 Feb 1998
Abstract excerpt
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae MATa cells, export of the a-factor mating pheromone is mediated by Ste6p, a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily of transporters and a close homologue of mammalian multidrug transporter P-glycoproteins (Pgps). We have used functional complementation of a ste6delta mutation to isolate a gene encoding an ABC transporter capable of a-factor export from the pathogenic...
