Abstract:Azole drugs represent the primary means of treating infections associated with the filamentous fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. A central player in azole resistance is the Zn2Cys6 zinc cluster-containing transcription factor AtrR. This factor stimulates expression of the both the cyp51A gene encoding the azole drug target enzyme as well as an ATP-binding cassette transporter-encoding gene called abcG1 (aka cdr1B). We have used a fusion protein between AtrR and the tandem affinity purification (TAP) moiet… Show more
