Abstract:
Echinocandins inhibit ?-1,3-glucan synthesis and are one of the few antimycotic drug classes effective against Aspergillus spp. In this study, we characterized the ?-1,3-glucan synthase Fks1 of Aspergillus fumigatus, the putative target of echinocandins. Data obtained with a conditional mutant suggest that fks1 is not essential. In agreement, we successfully constructed a viable ?fks1 deletion mutant. Lack of Fks1 results in characteristic growth phenotypes similar to wild type treated with echi...     »
