Complex dynamics and regulation of the plant energy sensor SnRK1 Ghent University
The plant SnRK1 (SNF-related kinase1) kinases are highly conserved cellular fuel gauges In energy-depleting stress conditions, they stimulate catabolic reactions while repressing energy-consuming anabolic processes, shifting the balance from growth to survival Consistent with their unique lifestyle, plants also have evolved specific regulatory mechanisms Rather than being activated upon energy deficit, SnRK1 is repressed under conditions of ...
