Helping daughters succeed: asymmetric distribution of glucose transporter mRNA
2019
Rapidly proliferating cells growing by glucose fermentation must first transport glucose into the cell. Both budding yeast and human tumor cells utilize members of a conserved family of glucose transporters. In this issue of The EMBO Journal , Stahl et al (2019) reveal that budding yeast cells confer a growth advantage to their daughters using a novel mechanism, the asymmetric distribution to the daughter cell of the mRNA for a specific glucose transporter.
