Abstract
The polyketide ambruticin is an attractive candidate for drug development as an antifungal agent, but its mechanism of action has not yet been elucidated. Here we present evidence that ambruticin exerts its effect by targeting HOG, the osmotic stress control pathway, through Hik1, a group III histidine kinase.Entities:
