The Saccharomyces cerevisiae FKS1 (ETG1) gene encodes an integral membrane protein which is a subunit of 1,3-beta-D-glucan synthase.

Douglas, C M, Foor, F, Marrinan, J A, Morin, N, Nielsen, J B, Dahl, A M, ...

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, mutations in FKS1 confer hypersensitivity to the immunosuppressants FK506 and cyclosporin A, while mutations in ETG1 confer resistance to the cell-wall-active...

Aerosol and parenteral pneumocandins are effective in a rat model of pulmonary aspergillosis.

Kurtz, M B, Bernard, E M, Edwards, F F, Marrinan, J A, Dropinski, J, Douglas, C M, ...

The pneumocandins are semisynthetic analogs of echinocandin-like compounds that have shown efficacy in animal models of systemic candidiasis, disseminated aspergillosis, and pneumocystis pneumonia....

Identification of the FKS1 gene of Candida albicans as the essential target of 1,3-beta-D-glucan synthase inhibitors.

Douglas, C M, D'Ippolito, J A, Shei, G J, Meinz, M, Onishi, J, Marrinan, J A, ...

Pneumocandins and echinocandins are fungicidal antibiotics, currently in clinical development, that inhibit 1,3-beta-D-glucan synthase (GS) in several human fungal pathogens. We have identified a...

Characterization of echinocandin-resistant mutants of Candida albicans: genetic, biochemical, and virulence studies.

Kurtz, M B, Abruzzo, G, Flattery, A, Bartizal, K, Marrinan, J A, Li, W, ...

The pneumocandins are potent antifungal agents of the echinocandin class which are under development for use as broad-spectrum antimycotic therapy. One important consideration for any new therapeutic...

A Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant with echinocandin-resistant 1,3-beta-D-glucan synthase.

Douglas, C M, Marrinan, J A, Li, W, Kurtz, M B

A novel, potent, semisynthetic pneumocandin, L-733,560, was used to isolate a resistant mutant in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This compound, like other pneumocandins and echinocandins, inhibits...

Cloning and characterization of the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase from Candida albicans.

Monk, B C, Kurtz, M B, Marrinan, J A, Perlin, D S

The Candida albicans PMA1 gene was isolated from a genomic library by using a hybridization probe obtained from the PMA1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The gene was localized to chromosome III of...
