The polyketide ambruticin is an attractive candidate for drug development as an antifungal agent, but its mechanism of action has not yet been elucidated. Here we present evidence that ambruticin exerts its effect by targeting HOG, the osmotic stress control pathway, through Hik1, a group III histidine kinase.
聚酮化合物安布罗霉素作为一种抗真菌药物,是药物开发的一个有吸引力的候选物,但其作用机制尚未阐明。在此,我们提供证据表明,安布罗霉素通过III型组氨酸激酶Hik1靶向渗透胁迫控制途径HOG发挥其作用。
