Abstract excerpt
The activity of adenylate cyclase in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is controlled by two G-protein systems, the Ras proteins and the Galpha protein Gpa2. Glucose activation of cAMP synthesis is thought to be mediated by Gpa2 and its G-protein-coupled receptor Gpr1. Using a sensitive GTP-loading assay for Ras2 we demonstrate that glucose addition also triggers a fast increase in the GTP loading state of Ras2...
