Trehalose transport in yeast cells.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae possesses a specific transporter for trehalose. Transport is low until after glucose exhaustion in stationary phase, and addition of glucose in stationary phase results in loss of transport, an event that is reversible when the glucose is removed. The effect of glucose is not competitive inhibition: the increase in trehalose transport in stationary phase requires a lag time after glucose is depleted; and recovery of transport after glucose inhibition requires protein synthesis. Finally, we provide evidence that the trehalose transporter is distinct from that for maltose.
