ATP-binding cassette (ABC) is one of the largest superfamily of proteins, which are ubiquitously present, performing variety of cellular functions. These proteins as drug transporters have been enticing substantial consideration because of their clinical importance. The present study focuses on genome wide identification of ABC proteins of an important halotolerant yeast Debaryomyces hansenii and explores their role in salt and drug tolerance. Our bioinformatics analysis identified a total of 30 putative ABC protein-coding genes whose expression at transcript level was confirmed by qRT-PCR. Our comparative phylogenetic analysis of nucleotide binding domains of D. hansenii and topology prediction categorized these proteins into six subfamilies; ABCB/MDR, ABCC/MRP, ABCD/ALDP, ABCF/YEF3, ABCE/RLI, and ABCG/PDR based on the nomenclature adopted by the Human Genome Organization (HUGO). Further, our transmembrane domain (TMD) predictions suggest that out of 30 ABC proteins, only 22 proteins possess either two or one TMD and hence are considered as membrane localized ABC proteins. Notably, our transcriptional dynamics of ABC proteins encoding genes following D. hansenii cells treatment with different salts and drugs concentrations illustrated variable transcriptional response of some of the genes, pointing to their role in salt and drug tolerance. This study first time provides a comprehensive inventory of the ABC proteins of a haploid D. hansenii which will be helpful for exploring their functional relevance.
