Biosynthesis of the various lipid species that compose cellular membranes and lipid droplets depends on the activity of multiple enzymes functioning in coordinated pathways. The flux of intermediates through lipid biosynthetic pathways is regulated to respond to nutritional and environmental demands placed on the cell necessitating that there be flexibility in pathway activity and organization. This flexibility can in part be achieved through the organization of enzymes into metabolon supercomplexes.

The cell division cycle is a fundamental process required for proliferation of all living organisms. The eukaryotic cell cycle follows a basic template with an ordered series of events beginning with G1 (Gap1) phase, followed successively by S (Synthesis) phase, G2 (Gap 2) phase, and M-phase (Mitosis). The process is tightly regulated in response to signals from both the internal and external milieu.

In response to nutrient starvation, the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae abandons mitotic proliferation and embarks on a differentiation process that leads through meiosis to the formation of haploid spores. This process is driven by cascading waves of meiosis-specific-gene expression. The early meiosis-specific genes are repressed during mitotic proliferation by the DNA-binding protein Ume6 in combination with repressors Rpd3 and Sin3.
