Fungal Antimicrobial Resistance: Mechanisms, Drivers, and Global Clinical Burden

open access: yesChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fungal antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern for world health caused by an increase in multidrug‐resistant infections, an increase in environmental reservoirs, and the ineffectiveness of current antifungal treatments. Fungal infections continue to be largely excluded from AMR initiatives while causing over 1.6 million deaths ...

Impaired biosynthesis of ergosterol confers resistance to complex sphingolipid biosynthesis inhibitor aureobasidin A in a PDR16-dependent manner

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Complex sphingolipids and sterols are coordinately involved in various cellular functions, e.g. the formation of lipid microdomains. Here we found that budding yeast exhibits resistance to an antifungal drug, aureobasidin A (AbA), an inhibitor of Aur1 ...

Aspergillus oryzae accelerates the conversion of ergosterol to ergosterol peroxide by efficiently utilizing cholesterol

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
It is well-known that excessive cholesterol leads to hypercholesterolemia, arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease, stroke, and other diseases, which seriously threatens human health. Lactobacillus, a prokaryote, is reported to utilize cholesterol in the environment. However, little research focuses on the cholesterol utilization by eukaryote.

Identification of Yeast Protein Sequences With Similarity to the ESCRT‐III Protein Snf7

open access: yesYeast, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT‐III) is a membrane remodeling complex involved in a large number of cellular processes. It appears to perform an essential function in eukaryotes, since to date no eukaryotic organism completely devoid of ESCRT‐III has been found.
