The DNA-binding domain of CaNdt80p is required to activate CDR1 involved in drug resistance in Candida albicans
Abstract
CaNdt80p, the Candida albicans homologue of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae transcription factor ScNdt80p, has been identified as a positive regulator of CDR1, which encodes an efflux pump involved in drug resistance in C. albicans. To investigate the involvement of the putative DNA-binding domain of CaNdt80p in drug resistance, chimeras of CaNdt80p and ScNdt80p were constructed. Interestingly, the DNA-binding domain of ScNdt80p could functionally complement that of CaNdt80p to activate CDR1p-lacZ in S. cerevisiae. Consistently, CaNdt80p containing a mutation in the DNA-binding domain failed to activate CDR1p-lacZ in S. cerevisiae. Furthermore, a copy of CaNDT80 with the same mutation also failed to complement the drug-sensitive phenotype caused by a null mutation in C. albicans. Thus, the DNA-binding domain of CaNdt80p is critical for its function in drug resistance in C. albicans.
