Disease relevance of pgp-3

  • In contrast to pgp-3 mutants, nhr-8 mutants are not more sensitive than wild-type to pyocyanin-dependent killing by the pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa [1].
 

High impact information on pgp-3

  • By transposon-mediated deletion mutagenesis we generated nematode strains with deleted P-glycoprotein genes and found that the pgp-3 deletion mutant, but not the pgp-1 mutant, is sensitive to both colchicine and chloroquine [2].
  • Expression of pgp-1 and pgp-3, as inferred from pgp-lacZ transgenic nematodes, was confined to the intestinal cells [3].
