We have cloned and sequenced theAspergillus fumigatusCYP51 gene which encodes the target of azole antifungal agents, namely cytochrome P450 sterol 14αdemethylase. SinceA. fumigatusis intrinsically resistant to the widely used azole fluconazole, we compared its predicted CYP51 sequence to the CYP51 sequences from fluconazole-susceptible and resistantCandida albicans. This analysis generated specific hypotheses regarding the basis forA. fumigatusfluconazole resistance; in particular,A. fumigatusresidue Ile301 corresponds toC. albicansresidue Thr315 which is mutated to Ala in resistant strains and is proposed to hydrogen bond with the sterol substrate.
