Under excess glucose conditions, many yeasts switch from high-yield respiratory metabolism to low-yield fermentation, a phenomenon called the Crabtree effect in yeast, or the Warburg effect in mammalian cells. Cellular constraints and limited resources are generally believed to govern the metabolic strategies of cells to adapt to environmental conditions, but which constraints drive this switch is still under debate. Here we study the Crabtree-negative, fully respiratory yeast Pichia kluyveri and compare it to the Crabtree-positive yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae from a resource allocation perspective. By integrating quantitative physiology and proteomics into whole-cell proteome-constrained models, we find that the Crabtree effect is determined by the composition and catalytic efficiency of the electron transport chain. We find that the subsequent proteome efficiency of respiration versus fermentation varies between these species. The variation in parameters and composition of the respiratory machinery likely reflects the evolutionary and ecological history of these yeast species. This study advances our understanding of the role of proteome constraints and proteome efficiency in governing cellular metabolism of yeasts, and that of eukaryotic cells at large.
