The yeast Pdr5p multidrug transporter: how does it recognize so many substrates?

abstract：:The TCP transcription factors control important aspects of plant development. Members of class I TCP proteins promote cell cycle by regulating genes directly involved in cell proliferation. In contrast, members of class II TCP proteins repress cell division. While it has been postulated that class II proteins induce d...
