PDR5-like proteins represent one group of the ABC superfamily of transporters. Members of this group are present in plants and, due to the function of PDR5-related proteins in fungi in the excretion of xenobiotics (including antifungal agents), it has been proposed that they might play a similar role in plants in ...

The yeast ABC transporter Pdr5 plays a major role in drug resistance against a large number of structurally unrelated compounds. Although Pdr5 has been extensively studied, many important aspects regarding its molecular mechanisms remain unresolved. For example, a striking ...

A possible role for posttranslational modifications in regulating the activity of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters has not been well established. In this study, the drug efflux ABC transporter gene KlPDR5 was isolated from the budding yeast Kluyveromyces lactis, and ...
The study of eukaryotic membrane proteins has been hampered by a paucity of systems that achieve consistent high-level functional protein expression. We report the use of a modified membrane protein hyperexpression system to characterize three classes of fungal membrane proteins (ABC transporters Pdr5p, CaCdr1p, ...
The PDR5 gene from yeast encodes an ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporter involved in the ATP-dependent efflux of a variety of structurally unrelated cytotoxic compounds. We report here on the cDNA cloning and characterization of a PDR5 homolog (TUR2) from a higher eukaryote, the aquatic plant Spirodela polyrrhiza. We show that TUR2 transcripts accumulate ...
ABC transporters are polytopic proteins. ATP hydrolysis and substrate transport take place in separate domains, and these activities must be coordinated through a signal interface. We previously characterized a mutation (S558Y) in the yeast multidrug transporter Pdr5 that ...
The signaling interface of the yeast multidrug transporter Pdr5 adopts a cis conformation, and there are functional overlap and equivalence of the deviant and canonical Q-loop residues. Biochemistry.

ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are well known for their roles as multidrug resistance determinants but also play important roles in regulation of lipid levels. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the plasma membrane ABC transporter proteins Pdr5 and Yor1 are ...
Candida glabrata is an opportunistic human pathogen that is increasingly associated with candidemia, owing in part to the intrinsic and acquired high tolerance the organism exhibits for the important clinical antifungal drug fluconazole. This elevated fluconazole resistance often develops through gain-of-function mutations in the zinc cluster-containing transcriptional regulator C. glabrata Pdr1 ...
Demethylation inhibitor (DMI)-resistant strains of the plant pathogenic fungus Penicillium digitatum were shown to be simultaneously resistant to cycloheximide, 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (4NQO), and acriflavine. A PMR1 (Penicillium multidrug resistance) gene encoding an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter (P-glycoprotein) was cloned from a genomic DNA ...

Zearalenone (ZON) is a nonsteroidal estrogenic mycotoxin produced by plant-pathogenic species of Fusarium. As a consequence of infection with Fusarium culmorum and Fusarium graminearum, ZON can be found in cereals and derived food products. Since ZON is suspected to be a cause of human disease, including premature puberty syndrome, as well as hyperestrogenism in farm animals, several countries ...

-binding proteins (SBPs) of ATP Binding Cassette (ABC) transporters has been ongoing for at least four decades. Our on the lactococcal oligopeptide binding protein A (OppA), the receptor component of the ABC-transporter oligopeptide picture how these proteins work. Three types of ABC-transporters exist: ...

Etravirine is a novel nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) for the treatment of HIV-1 infections. ABC transporters potentially mediate clinically relevant drug-drug interactions. We assessed substrate characteristics and the inhibitory and inductive potential of etravirine on ABC transporters. ...
FIGURE 1. The minimal ABC transporter has four domains. Two transmembrane domains (TMDs) bind ligand, and transport is driven by ATP binding and hydrolysis by the two nucleotide binding domains (NBDs). The TMDs from different subfamilies of ABC transporters are not necessarily homologous. The ...
