  • The mechanism of sensing the density of starved cells insures that aggregation occurs only when there are sufficient numbers of starved cells to form aggregates and subsequent structures of appropriate size for optimized spore dispersal [ 2 3 4 ] .

  • In yeast and mammalian cells, GCN2 is a protein that senses amino acid starvation and brings about altered cell physiology in response to such starvation [ 24 25 ] . GCN2 is a protein kinase that phosphorylates the α subunit of the translation initiation factor eIF2 [ 26 ] . The GCN2 protein from yeasts, Drosophila , and mammals is composed of three domains: a pseudokinase domain that may function as a regulatory domain, a kinase domain, and a HisRS domain that shares significant similarity to histidyl-tRNA synthetases [ 27 28 29 30 ] .

As a result the kinase domain is activated and phosphorylates eIF2α at Ser51.
