State
Budding yeast cells signal mating partners by secreting mating factor, a ligand binding cell-surface receptors that halts the recipient's growth cycle to prepare for mating.
Show
A yeast cell receiving mating factor activates protein kinases and GTP-binding proteins resembling multicellular G-protein signaling.
Watch for
Single-celled eukaryotes use cell-surface receptor signaling like an animal cell — communication did not begin with multicellularity.
