Nutrient sensors allow cells to adapt their metabolisms to match nutrient availability by regulating metabolic pathway expression. Many such sensors are cytosolic receptors that measure intracellular nutrient concentrations. One might expect that inducing the metabolic pathway that degrades a nutrient would reduce intracellular nutrient levels, destabilizing induction.

Cellulase production for hydrolyzing plant cell walls is energy-intensive in filamentous fungi during nutrient scarcity. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), encoded by snf1, is known to be the nutrient and energy sensor in eukaryotes. Previous studies on AMPK identified its role in alternate carbon utilization in pathogenic fungi.
