The addition of glucose toSaccharomyces cerevisiaecells causes reprogramming of gene expression. Glucose is sensed bymembrane receptorsaswell as (so far elusive) intracellular sensing mechanisms. The availability of four yeast strains that display different hexose uptake capacities allowed us to study glucose-induced effects at different glycolytic rates. Rapid glucose responses were observed in all strains able to take up glucose, consistent with intracellular sensing.
