Aspergillus fumigatus CYP51 sequence: potential basis for fluconazole resistance

We have cloned and sequenced the Aspergillus fumigatus CYP51 gene which encodes the target of azole antifungal agents, namely cytochrome P450 sterol 14 alpha demethylase. Since A. fumigatus is intrinsically resistant to the widely used azole fluconazole, we compared its predicted CYP51 sequence to t...

description We have cloned and sequenced the Aspergillus fumigatus CYP51 gene which encodes the target of azole antifungal agents, namely cytochrome P450 sterol 14 alpha demethylase. Since A. fumigatus is intrinsically resistant to the widely used azole fluconazole, we compared its predicted CYP51 sequence to the CYP51 sequences from fluconazole-susceptible and resistant Candida albicans. This analysis generated specific hypotheses regarding the basis for A. fumigatus fluconazole resistance; in particular, A. fumigatus residue Ile301 corresponds to C. albicans residue Thr315 which is mutated to Ala in resistant strains and is proposed to hydrogen bond with the sterol substrate.
