In the presence of 5 µM ketoconazole (KET), iKIX1 (10–20 μg/ml) reduces cell proliferation in HepG2 cells in a concentration-dependent manner [1]. With a fitted Kd of 319.7 nM, the FP titration curve illustrates the interaction between the CgGal11A KIX domain and the CgPdr1 AD30. CgPdr1 AD30 and iKIX1 are in competition with an IC50 of 190.2 µM. During in vitro binding experiments, iKIX1 demonstrated an apparent Ki of 18 µM and a Kd of 0.32 µM for the CgPdr1 activation domain (AD) of the CgGal11A KIX domain [1]. In the Sc pdr1Δpdr3Δ strain, which carries plasmid-borne CgPDR1 and 3XPDRE-luciferase, iKIX1 (0-50 µM) dose-responsively suppresses the increase of luciferase activity produced by KET [1]. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the recruitment of Gal11/Med15 to Pdr1-regulated target genes was investigated using the chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay. Gal11/Med15 is quickly recruited by ketoconazole to the promoters of Pdr1 target genes PDR5 and SNQ2. Ketoconazole-induced Gal11/Med15 recruitment is eliminated by iKIX1, and azole-induced ScPdr1 target gene transcription is significantly suppressed [1]. There is an impact of iKIX1 (20 μM) on C's transcription. glabrata Pdr1-regulated genes involved in drug efflux and MDR (CgCDR1, CgCDR2, and CgYOR1). iKIX1 by alone had no discernible impact on Pdr1 target gene induction. On the other hand, iKIX1 pretreatment permanently and concentration-dependently decreased ketoconazole-induced CgPdr1 upregulation [1]. C was the subject of an RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) experiment. glabrata strain SFY114 (wild-type PDR1). In both yeast species, azole upregulates Pdr1-dependent genes, including the drug efflux pumps ScPDR5 and CgCDR1i. A number of S genes that are Pdr1-dependent and azole-activated are significantly suppressed when KIX1 binds to azoles. cerevisiae as well as S. glabrata, however in S. cerevisiae, iKIX1 alone impacts distinct gene sets. cerevisiae as well as S. Glabrata. Then, either GAL11/MED15 impacts very distinct genomes in S., or iKIX1 does not dramatically change PDR1 expression. cerevisiae as well as S. Glabrata [1]. Azole effectiveness against CgPDR1 gain-of-function mutants is restored by iKIX1 (0-150 µM). In a concentration-dependent manner, it restores azole sensitivity to PDR1 gain-of-function mutants [1].
