The PhoP-activated ugtL , pagP and yqjA genes are required for resistance to the alpha-helical peptides magainin 2 and cecropin A but not to the b-sheet defensin HNP-1 .
Cumulatively , these results demonstrate that yqjA is a PhoP-activated gene required for magainin 2 resistance and that yqjA confers magainin resistance by a pathway that is different from those mediated by the ugtL and pagP genes .
