Interplay among regulators of multidrug resistance in Kluyveromyces lactis.

چکیده
The KlYAP1 and KlPDR1 genes encode two main transcriptional regulators involved in the control of multidrug resistance in Kluyveromyces lactis. Deletion of KlPDR1 or KlYAP1 genes in K. lactis generated strain hypersusceptible to diamide, benomyl, fluconazole and oligomycin. Overexpression of genes KlPDR1 or KlYAP1 from a multicopy plasmid in the Klpdr1Δ mutant strain increased the tolerance of transformants to all the drugs tested. YRE response elements were found in the promoter of the KlPDR1 gene. Gel retardation assays confirmed the binding of KlYap1p to the YREs in the KlPDR1 gene promoter indicating that KlYap1p can control the KlPDR1 gene expression.

Insight into the Kluyveromyces lactis Pdr1p regulon.
The overexpression of efflux pumps is an important mechanism leading to the development of multidrug resistance phenomenon. The transcription factor KlPdr1p, belonging to the Zn2Cys6 family, is a central regulator of efflux pump expression in Kluyveromyces lactis. To better understand how KlPDR1-mediated drug resistance is achieved in K. lactis, we used DNA microarrays to identify genes whose e...
متن کاملMultidrug transporters and antibiotic resistance in Lactococcus lactis.
The Gram-positive bacterium Lactococcus lactis produces two distinct multidrug transporters, designated LmrA and LmrP, that both confer resistance to a wide variety of cationic lipophilic cytotoxic compounds as well as to many clinically relevant antibiotics. While LmrP is a proton/drug antiporter that belongs to the major facilitator superfamily of secondary transporters, LmrA is an ATP-depend...
متن کاملHeterologous products from the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis: exploitation of KlPDC1, a single-gene based system
Heterologous products are frequent applications of microbial technology. Depending on the product, the host-vector system has to be chosen in order to fulfill process requirements. This short review summarizes published and unpublished results obtained for the production of heterologous metabolites and proteins from a single host, the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis, and by means of tools – promoter...
متن کاملSit4p protein phosphatase is required for sensitivity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to Kluyveromyces lactis zymocin.
We have identified two Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes that, in high copy, confer resistance to Kluyveromyces lactis zymocin, an inhibitor that blocks cells in the G(1) phase of the cell cycle prior to budding and DNA replication. One gene (GRX3) encodes a glutaredoxin and is likely to act at the level of zymocin entry into sensitive cells, while the other encodes Sap155p, one of a family of fou...
متن کاملLmrCD is a major multidrug resistance transporter in Lactococcus lactis.
When Lactococcus lactis is challenged with drugs it displays a multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype. In silico analysis of the genome of L. lactis indicates the presence of at least 40 putative MDR transporters, of which only four, i.e. the ABC transporters LmrA, LmrC and LmrD, and the major facilitator LmrP, have been experimentally associated with the MDR. To understand the molecular basis of...
