Article Abstract
FLR1 gene, encoding a multidrug resistance (MDR) transporter of the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) was found to confer resistance to the fungicide mancozeb in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This agrochemical has been linked to the development of Parkinson disease and cancer. Yeast response to mancozeb was proved to involve the strong activation of FLR1 transcription (20-fold) during the fungicide-induced growth latency. This activation of FLR1 transcription is fully dependent on Yap1p and is reduced (by 50%) in the absence of Rpn4p, Yrr1p or Pdr3p. A model for the coordinate action over FLR1 transcription activation, in response to mancozeb, of these transcription factors that mediate oxidative stress response (Yap1p), proteasome gene expression (Rpn4p), and pleiotropic drug resistance (Pdr3p and Yrr1p), is proposed.

Microbial cells sense the presence of xenobiotics and, in response, upregulate genes involved in pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR). In yeast, PDR activation to a major extent relies on the transcription factor Pdr1. In addition, many xenobiotics induce oxidative stress, which may upregulate PDR independently of Pdr1 activity.

Background: Biofuels derived from lignocellulosic biomass are a viable alternative to fossil fuels required for transportation. Following plant biomass pretreatment, the furan derivative furfural is present at concentrations which are inhibitory to yeasts. Detoxification of furfural is thus important for efficient fermentation.

Screening for suppressors of canthin-6-one toxicity in yeast identified Yap1, a transcription factor involved in cell response to a broad range of injuries. Although canthin-6-one did not promote a significant oxidative stress, overexpression of YAP1 gene clearly increased resistance to this drug. We demonstrated that Yap1-mediated resistance involves the plasma membrane major-facilitator-superfamily efflux pump Flr1 but not the vacuolar ATP-binding-cassette transporter Ycf1.

Yeast cells can extrude intracellular drugs through membrane-associated efflux pumps, such as ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters and members of the major facilitator superfamily. Gene expression of drug efflux pumps is regulated by several transcription factors involved in pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR). Salicylic acid (SA) possesses weak antifungal activity.
