Article Description

Chakravarty et al. (2019) and Itakura et al. (2019) report that the yeast RNA-binding protein Vts1 can convert into the [ SMAUG + ] prion state and delay meiosis commitment in response to starvation. It enables budding yeast to optimize their sporulation efficiency depending on how quickly nutrient availability fluctuates in their environment.
