“…Sensing of internal sugar levels may be mediated by a monomeric G-protein, Ras/cAMP/PKA pathway and/or hexose kinase (Hxk2) that antagonises the Snf1/Mig1 pathway needed for de-repression (Rolland et al, 2001(Rolland et al, , 2002Santangelo, 2006). A number of homologues to components of these pathways have been identified in filamentous fungi, particularly Neurospora and Aspergillus (Flipphi et al, 2003;Li and Borkovich, 2006;Palmer and Horton, 2006;Divon and Fluhr, 2007), but even a partial pathway awaits characterisation in a cordforming basidiomycete.…”
