Abstract

This study used live-cell microscopy to track changes in the level of a key enzyme in GTP nucleotide biosynthesis, inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), during growth of a brewers yeast colony over 2 days in a microfluidic device. The results show that feedback regulation via transcription attenuation allows cells to adapt to nutrient limitation in the crowded environs of a yeast colony. They also identify a novel mode of regulation of IMPDH level that is not driven by guanine nucleotide availability.
