How yeast coordinates metabolism, growth and division
2018
All cells, especially single cell organisms, need to adapt their metabolism, growth and division coordinately to the available nutrients. This coordination is mediated by extensive cross-talk between nutrient signaling, metabolism, growth, and the cell division cycle, which is only gradually being uncovered: Nutrient signaling not only controls entry into the cell cycle at the G1/S transition, but all phases of the cell cycle. Metabolites are even sensed directly by cell cycle regulators to prevent cell cycle progression in absence of sufficient metabolic fluxes. In turn, cell cycle regulators such as the cyclin-dependent kinase directly control metabolic fluxes during cell cycle progression. In this review, I highlight some recent advances in our understanding of how metabolism and the cell division cycle are coordinated in the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae .
