Aspergillus fumigatus sterol 14α-demethylase isoenzymes CYP51A and CYP51B were heterologously expressed in a Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant (YUG37-erg11), wherein native ERG11/CYP51 expression is controlled using a doxycycline-regulatable promoter. When cultured in the presence of doxycycline, recombinant YUG37-pcyp51A and YUG37-pcyp51B yeasts were able to synthesize ergosterol and grow; a control strain harboring reverse-oriented cyp51A could not. YUG37-pcyp51A and YUG37-pcyp51B constructs showed identical sensitivity to itraconazole, posaconazole, clotrimazole, and voriconazole. Conversely, YUG37-pcyp51A withstood 16-fold-higher concentrations of fluconazole than YUG37-pcyp51B (8 and 0.5 μg ml⁻¹, respectively).
烟曲霉甾醇 14α-脱甲基酶同工酶 CYP51A 和 CYP51B 在酿酒酵母突变体(YUG37-erg11)中异源表达,其中天然 ERG11/CYP51 的表达受强力霉素可调控启动子控制。当在强力霉素存在下培养时,重组 YUG37-pcyp51A 和 YUG37-pcyp51B 酵母能够合成麦角固醇并生长;而含有反向定向 cyp51A 的对照菌株则不能。YUG37-pcyp51A 和 YUG37-pcyp51B 构建体对伊曲康唑、泊沙康唑、克霉唑和伏立康唑的敏感性相同。相反,YUG37-pcyp51A 能耐受比 YUG37-pcyp51B 高 16 倍的氟康唑浓度(分别为 8 和 0.5 μg ml⁻¹)。
