Journal ArticleDOI
Nutrient sensing and signaling in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Michaela Conrad,Joep Schothorst,Harish Nag Kankipati,Griet Van Zeebroeck,Marta Rubio-Texeira,Johan M. Thevelein +5 more
TL;DR: The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been a favorite organism for pioneering studies on nutrient-sensing and signaling mechanisms, and its discovery of nutrient transceptors (transporter receptors) as nutrient sensors has led to important new concepts and insight into nutrient-controlled cellular regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lactose: the milk sugar from a biotechnological perspective.
TL;DR: Biotransformation of lactose, by either enzymatic or fermentative procedures, is important for different types of industrial applications in dairy and pharmaceutical industries.
Journal ArticleDOI
From transporter to transceptor: Signaling from transporters provokes re‐evaluation of complex trafficking and regulatory controls
TL;DR: The discovery that some nutrient transporters also act as receptors, or transceptors, suggests that at least part of the sophisticated controls governing the trafficking of these proteins has to do with their signaling function rather than with control of transport.
Journal ArticleDOI
Saccharomyces cerevisiae plasma membrane nutrient sensors and their role in PKA signaling.
TL;DR: An updated overview of the proteins involved in sensing nutrients for rapid activation of the protein kinase A pathway and a comparison with the best-known examples of the second category are provided, which control the expression of the regular transporters for the nutrient sensed by these proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly efficient assimilation of lactose by a metabolically engineered strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
TL;DR: A diploid strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae able to metabolize lactose with high efficiency has been obtained and it was found that this lack of vigour was caused by their genetic background and not by a deficient expression of the heterologous genes.
