EC Number Cloned (Comment) Organism
1.14.14.17 gene ERG1, subcloning in Escherichi acoli strain DH5alpha Candida albicans

Protein Variants

EC Number Protein Variants Comment Organism
1.14.14.17 additional information construction of a disruption mutant of both gene ERG1 alleles, which is lethal, and of a heterozygous ERG1 disruptant mutant by disruption of one ERG1 allele, while the second is controlled by the regulable promotor MET3p repressable by methionine and cysteine, the heterozyygous mutant strain does not produce ergosterol, conditional mutant shows reduced passive diffusion of drug into the cells, hyphal morphogenesis is affected in the mutant, overview Candida albicans

Inhibitors

EC Number Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
1.14.14.17 additional information enzyme provides resistance to the drugs fluconazole, cycloheximide, ketoconazole, amphotericin B, nystatin, and terbafine, the repressable heterozygous ERG1 mutant strain is hypersensitive to the drugs under repressing conditions and increased sensitive, compared to the wild-type, under non-repressing conditions Candida albicans
