Abstract

All living cells maintain cellular homeostasis to run biochemical reactions at constant speed. When certain nutrients become limiting, an interplay between sensors and transporters is required to restore cellular homeostasis. Here I will discuss several examples of how the cellular need for essential nutrients, such as lactose, pyruvate, and K+ is sensed and how the signals are transduced into the synthesis of the corresponding transporters.
