Because these organisms must be able to respond reliably to ever varying and unpredictable nutritional conditions, their nutrient signaling networks must have a certain inbuilt robustness. In eukaryotes, such as the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, distinct nutrient signals are relayed by specific plasma membrane receptors to signal transduction pathways that are interconnected in complex information-processing networks, which have been well characterized. However, the complexity of the signaling network confounds the interpretation of the overall regulatory "logic"of the control system. Here, we propose a literature-curated molecular mechanism of the integrated nutrient signaling network in budding yeast, focusing on early temporal responses to carbon and nitrogen signaling. We build a computational model of this network to reconcile literature-curated quantitative experimental data with our proposed molecular mechanism. We evaluate the robustness of our estimates of the model's kinetic parameter values. We test the model by comparing predictions made in mutant strains with qualitative experimental observations made in the same strains. Finally, we use the model to predict nutrient-responsive transcription factor activities in a number of mutant strains undergoing complex nutrient shifts.14 page(s)application/pdfenCreative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0Cell BiologySNF1 PROTEIN-KINASETRANSCRIPTION FACTOR MSN2AMINO-ACID POOLSSACCHAROMYCES-CEREVISIAEADENYLATE-CYCLASENUCLEOCYTOPLASMIC OSCILLATIONSINTRACELLULAR ACIDIFICATIONDEPENDENT TRANSCRIPTIONRAS/CAMP/PKA PATHWAYRIBOSOME BIOGENESISNutritionGenetics1.1 Normal biological development and functioning1 Underpinning researchGeneric health relevanceSaccharomyces cerevisiaeNitrogenCarrier ProteinsSaccharomyces cerevisiae ProteinsTranscription FactorsComputational BiologySignal TransductionCell CycleGene ExpressionGene Expression Regulation, FungalEatingModels, TheoreticalTranscriptomeNutrientsArticle - Refereed2022-12-21https://doi.org/10.1091/mbc.E20-02-01173221Murali, T [0000-0003-3688-4672]Kraikivski, Pavel [0000-0001-7742-0140]344956801939-4586
