Deskripsi
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) enable cells to sense environmental cues and are indispensable for coordinating vital processes including quorum sensing, proliferation, and sexual reproduction. Here the authors, using heterologous GPCR expression and endogenous ligand production, enable synthetic mating in haploid yeast, and GPCR-mediated biosensing in diploid probiotic yeast.
