ADDITIONAL INFORMATION for ERG11

SUMMARY PARAGRAPH for ERG11

ERG11 encodes lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase, an enzyme in the cytochrome P450 family that catalyzes the C-14 demethylation of lanosterol to form 4,4'-dimethyl cholesta-8,14,24-triene-3-beta-ol, a step in ergosterol biosynthesis (7, 4, 6, 8, 2).

The erg11 null mutant requires ergosterol and cannot grow aerobically (4). Expression of the wheat CYP51 gene complements the erg11 null phenotype (9). A mutation in ERG3 can suppress the erg11 null phenotype, and combination of an erg11 mutation with a mutation that reduces heme levels (hem2 or hem4) suppresses the sterol auxotrophy of an erg25 disruption; ERG3 and ERG25 encode enzymes that act downstream of Erg11p in ergosterol biosynthesis (10, 11).

Lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase is the main target of azole antifungal componds such as fluconazole and ketoconazole in fungi including S. cerevisiae and Candida albicans; the drugs act by interacting with the heme iron (5, 3, ). Overexpression of ERG11 causes resistance to azole antifungals (12, 13).
