Azoles 82-87 potassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily H (eag-related), member 7 Mus musculus 24-28 29789366-1 2018 Inactivation of sterol Delta5,6-desaturase (Erg3p) in the prevalent fungal pathogen Candida albicans is one of several mechanisms that can confer resistance to the azole antifungal drugs. Azoles 164-169 potassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily H (eag-related), member 7 Mus musculus 44-49 29789366-3 2018 This may explain why relatively few erg3-deficient strains have been reported among azole-resistant clinical isolates. Azoles 84-89 potassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily H (eag-related), member 7 Mus musculus 36-40 29789366-7 2018 Thus, complete loss of Erg3p activity confers azole resistance but also niche-specific virulence deficiencies. Azoles 46-51 potassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily H (eag-related), member 7 Mus musculus 23-28 29789366-8 2018 Serendipitously, we discovered that loss of azole-inducible ERG3 transcription (rather than complete inactivation) is sufficient to confer in vitro fluconazole resistance, without compromising C. albicans stress tolerance, hyphal growth, or pathogenicity in either mouse model. Azoles 44-49 potassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily H (eag-related), member 7 Mus musculus 60-64 29789366-10 2018 Collectively, these results establish that modulating Erg3p expression or activity can have niche-specific consequences on both C. albicans pathogenicity and azole resistance.IMPORTANCE While conferring resistance to the azole antifungals in vitro, loss of sterol Delta5,6-desaturase (Erg3p) activity has also been shown to reduce C. albicans pathogenicity. Azoles 158-163 potassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily H (eag-related), member 7 Mus musculus 54-59 29789366-10 2018 Collectively, these results establish that modulating Erg3p expression or activity can have niche-specific consequences on both C. albicans pathogenicity and azole resistance.IMPORTANCE While conferring resistance to the azole antifungals in vitro, loss of sterol Delta5,6-desaturase (Erg3p) activity has also been shown to reduce C. albicans pathogenicity. Azoles 158-163 potassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily H (eag-related), member 7 Mus musculus 285-290 29789366-10 2018 Collectively, these results establish that modulating Erg3p expression or activity can have niche-specific consequences on both C. albicans pathogenicity and azole resistance.IMPORTANCE While conferring resistance to the azole antifungals in vitro, loss of sterol Delta5,6-desaturase (Erg3p) activity has also been shown to reduce C. albicans pathogenicity. Azoles 221-226 potassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily H (eag-related), member 7 Mus musculus 54-59 29789366-10 2018 Collectively, these results establish that modulating Erg3p expression or activity can have niche-specific consequences on both C. albicans pathogenicity and azole resistance.IMPORTANCE While conferring resistance to the azole antifungals in vitro, loss of sterol Delta5,6-desaturase (Erg3p) activity has also been shown to reduce C. albicans pathogenicity. Azoles 221-226 potassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily H (eag-related), member 7 Mus musculus 285-290 29789366-13 2018 Most importantly, we have shown that even modest changes in ERG3 transcription are sufficient to confer azole resistance without compromising C. albicans fitness or pathogenicity. Azoles 104-109 potassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily H (eag-related), member 7 Mus musculus 60-64 29789366-14 2018 Given that previous efforts to assess the importance of ERG3 as a determinant of clinical azole resistance have focused almost exclusively on detecting null mutants, its role may have been grossly underestimated. Azoles 90-95 potassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily H (eag-related), member 7 Mus musculus 56-60 29789366-15 2018 On the basis of our results, a more thorough investigation of the contribution of the ERG3 gene to azole resistance in the clinical setting is warranted. Azoles 99-104 potassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily H (eag-related), member 7 Mus musculus 86-90 16436713-4 2006 In this study, we created a C. albicans erg3/erg3 mutant by the "Ura-blaster" method and confirmed the expected azole resistance using standard in vitro testing and the presence of ergosta-7,22-dien-3beta-ol instead of ergosterol. Azoles 112-117 potassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily H (eag-related), member 7 Mus musculus 40-44 16436713-4 2006 In this study, we created a C. albicans erg3/erg3 mutant by the "Ura-blaster" method and confirmed the expected azole resistance using standard in vitro testing and the presence of ergosta-7,22-dien-3beta-ol instead of ergosterol. Azoles 112-117 potassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily H (eag-related), member 7 Mus musculus 45-49 16127034-11 2005 Reintroduction of a wild-type ERG3 allele into the homozygous deletion mutant restored virulence, ergosterol synthesis, and susceptibility to azoles, confirming that these phenotypic changes were solely due to the inactivation of Erg3p.
