Antifungal properties of the immunosuppressant FK-506: identification of an FK-506-responsive yeast gene distinct from FKB1.

Brizuela, L, Chrebet, G, Bostian, K A, Parent, S A

FK-506 is a novel and potent antagonist of T-cell activation and an inhibitor of fungal growth. Its immunosuppressive activity can be antagonized by the structurally related antibiotic rapamycin, and...
