Abstrakt: Highlights: [•] Functional cloning identifies a Leishmania-specific 58kD antimony resistance marker, ARM58. [•] ARM58 overexpression confers antimony resistance. [•] A neighbouring, structurally related gene lacks antimony resistance function. [•] ARM58 comprises 4 related domains of unknown function, classified as DUF1935. [•] Cosmid-based functional cloning is feasible in L. braziliensis in spite of RNAi. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
