Metabolic signalling and carbon partitioning: role of Snf1-related (SnRK1) protein kinase.

Crop Performance and Improvement, Rothamsted Research, Harpenden, Hertfordshire AL5 2JQ, UK.

Published: January 2003

A protein kinase that plays a key role in the global control of plant carbon metabolism is SnRK1 (sucrose non-fermenting-1-related protein kinase 1), so-called because of its homology and functional similarity with sucrose non-fermenting 1 (SNF1) of yeast. This article reviews studies on the characterization of SnRK1 gene families, SnRK1 regulation and function, interacting proteins, and the effects of manipulating SnRK1 activity on carbon metabolism and development.
