How cells coordinate their metabolism with division determines the rate of cell
proliferation. Dynamic patterns of metabolite synthesis during the cell cycle are
unexplored. We report the first isotope tracing analysis in synchronous, growing
budding yeast cells. Synthesis of leucine, a branched-chain amino acid (BCAA),
increased through the G1 phase of the cell cycle, peaking later during DNA replication.
Cells lacking Bat1, a mitochondrial...
