Plant SnRK1 Kinases: Structure, Regulation, and Function

Leonor Margalha et al. Exp Suppl. 2016.

Abstract

SnRK1 is an evolutionarily conserved protein kinase complex that regulates energy homeostasis in plants. In doing so, it promotes tolerance to adverse environmental conditions and influences a large array of growth and developmental processes. SnRK1 shares clear structural and functional similarities with its orthologs, yeast SNF1 and mammalian AMPK, but has evolved unique features that presumably provide a better adaptation to an autotrophic lifestyle. In this chapter, we review current knowledge on SnRK1, an atypical member of the SNF1/AMPK family, providing insight into its structure, regulation, and functions.

Keywords: Carbon allocation; Carbon metabolism; Energy signaling; Homeostasis; Plant; SNF1-related protein kinase (SnRK1); Stress.
