High impact information on PDR15

  • The Pdr15p ABC protein is the closest homologue of the multidrug efflux transporter Pdr5p, which mediates pleiotropic drug resistance to hundreds of unrelated compounds [1].
  • Interestingly, Pdr15p becomes most abundant when cells exit the exponential growth phase, whereas its closest homologue, Pdr5p, disappears after exponential growth [1].
  • Remarkably, however, Pdr15p induction bypasses upstream components of the high osmolarity glycerol (HOG) pathway including the Hog1p and Pbs2p kinases as well as the dedicated HOG cell surface sensors [1].
  • In this study, we show that the plasma membrane protein Pdr15p displays limited drug transport capacity, mediating chloramphenicol and detergent tolerance [1].
  • We have identified two new ABC transporter-encoding genes, PDR10 and PDR15, which were up-regulated by the PDR1-3 mutation [2].
