Putative role for ABC multidrug exporters in yeast quorum sensing

Abstract

Besides the role of Pdr5p and Snq2p transporters controlled by transcription factor Pdr1p in removing extracellularly added toxic compounds, they significantly influence the developmental phases and physiology of yeast populations growing in a liquid culture. They appear to be involved in population quorum sensing, which consequently influences Pdr1p level via feedback regulation.
