https://www.selleckchem.com/peptide/dulaglutide.html Azoles are first-line therapeutics for human and plant fungal infections, but their broad use has promoted the development of resistances. Recently, a pan-azole-resistant clinical Aspergillus fumigatus isolate was identified to carry the mutation P88L in subunit HapE of the CCAAT-binding complex (CBC), a conserved eukaryotic transcription factor. Here, we define the mechanistic basis for resistance in this isolate by showing that the HapEP88L mutation interferes with the CBC's ability to bend and sense CCAAT motifs. This failure leads to transcriptional derepression of the cyp51A gene, which encodes the target of azoles, the 14-α sterol demethylase Cyp51A, and ultimately causes drug resistance. In addition, we demonstrate that the CBC-associated transcriptional regulator HapX assists cyp51A repression in low-iron environments and that this iron-dependent effect is lost in the HapEP88L mutant. Altogether, these results indicate that the mutation HapEP88L confers increased resistance to azoles compared with wt A. fumigatus, particularly in low-iron clinical niches such as the lung.The cohesin subunit STAG2 has emerged as a recurrently inactivated tumor suppressor in human cancers. Using candidate approaches, recent studies have revealed a synthetic lethal interaction between STAG2 and its paralog STAG1 To systematically probe genetic vulnerabilities in the absence of STAG2, we have performed genome-wide CRISPR screens in isogenic cell lines and identified STAG1 as the most prominent and selective dependency of STAG2-deficient cells. Using an inducible degron system, we show that chemical genetic degradation of STAG1 protein results in the loss of sister chromatid cohesion and rapid cell death in STAG2-deficient cells, while sparing STAG2-wild-type cells. Biochemical assays and X-ray crystallography identify STAG1 regions that interact with the RAD21 subunit of the cohesin complex. STAG1 mutations that abrogate this
