- W3207440630 abstract "Abstract Two of the major classes of antifungal drugs in clinical use target ergosterol biosynthesis. Despite its importance, our understanding of the transcriptional regulation of ergosterol biosynthesis genes in pathogenic fungi is essentially limited to the role of hypoxia and sterol-stress induced transcription factors such as Upc2 and Upc2A as well as homologs of Sterol Response Element Binding (SREB) factors. To identify additional regulators of ergosterol biosynthesis in Candida glabrata , an important human fungal pathogen with reduced susceptibility to ergosterol biosynthesis inhibitors relative to other Candida spp., we used a serial passaging strategy to isolate suppressors of the fluconazole hypersusceptibility of a upc2A Δ deletion mutant. This led to the identification of loss of function mutants in two genes: ROX1 , the homolog of a hypoxia gene transcriptional suppressor in Saccharomyces cerevisiae , and CST6 , a transcription factor that is involved in the regulation of carbon dioxide response in C. glabrata . Here, we describe a detailed analysis of the genetic interaction of ROX1 and UPC2A . In the presence of fluconazole, loss of Rox1 function restores ERG11 expression to the upc2A Δ mutant and inhibits the expression of ERG3 and ERG6 , leading to increased levels or ergosterol and decreased levels of the toxic sterol, 14α methyl-ergosta-8,24(28)-dien-3β, 6α-diol, relative to upc2A Δ. Our observations establish that Rox1 is a negative regulator of ERG gene biosynthesis and indicate that a least one additional positive transcriptional regulator of ERG gene biosynthesis must be present in C. glabrata . Importance Candida glabrata is one of the most important human fungal pathogens and has reduced susceptibility to azole class inhibitors of ergosterol biosynthesis. Although ergosterol is the target of two of the three classes of antifungal drugs, relatively little is known about the regulation of this critical cellular pathway. Sterols are both essential components of the eukaryotic plasma membrane and potential toxins; therefore, sterol homeostasis is critical for cell function. Here, we identified two new negative regulators of C. glabrata of ergosterol ( ERG ) biosynthesis gene expression. Our results also indicate that in addition to Upc2A, the only known activator of ERG genes, additional positive regulators of this pathway must exist.s" @default.
