Sensory input attenuation allows predictive sexual response in yeast

Cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiaecan mate with other cells of opposite mating type. Here, the authors show that the combination of a pheromone and a pheromone-degrading enzyme allows yeast cells to monitor relative mate abundance within a population and adjust their commitment to sexual re...

Sumario:Cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiaecan mate with other cells of opposite mating type. Here, the authors show that the combination of a pheromone and a pheromone-degrading enzyme allows yeast cells to monitor relative mate abundance within a population and adjust their commitment to sexual reproduction.
