Sphingolipids are important membrane lipid components of eukaryotic cells. In Candida albicans, chromosome 1 trisomy not only overcame the block of sphingolipid biosynthesis caused by aureobasidin A, but also altered tolerance to three of the four major classes of antifungal drugs. Two haploinsufficient genes on chromosome 1, PDR16 and IPT1, were associated with tolerance to aureobasidin A. This study illustrates an example of multi-drug tolerance caused by aneuploidy in the human fungal pathogen C. albicans.
