Loss of Upc2p-Inducible
mBio, 2018 Inactivation of sterol Δ5,6-desaturase (Erg3p) in the prevalent fungal pathogen Candida albicans is one of several mechanisms that can confer resistance to the azole antifungal drugs.

The transcription factor RttA contributes to sterol regulation and azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]
mBioMajor mechanisms of azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus involve overexpression of the azole target protein encoded by cyp51A. The elevated expression originates from the duplication of an enhancer element in its promoter, serving as a binding ...

RttA, a Zn2-Cys6 transcription factor in Aspergillus fumigatus, contributes to azole resistance [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumAspergillus fumigatus is a common environmental fungus and the leading cause of aspergillosis, an opportunistic infection in humans and animals. The mortality rate of aspergillosis remains high despite antifungal treatments, with azole antifungals, such ...
