The multidrug transporter Pdr5 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an ergosterol-modulated efflux pump

The pleiotropic drug resistance ABC transporter Pdr5 and its homologs play a critical role in multidrug resistance of numerous fungi, including pathogens. Previous studies demonstrated that alterations in the composition of the plasma membrane in which Pdr5 is embedded, specifically the ergosterol content, affected transport activity. Here we report the cryo-EM map of Saccharomyces cerevisiae…
