SNF1AMPKtype
SNF1AMPKtype is a term used to describe the SNF1-AMPK family of energy-sensing kinases, a conserved group of serine/threonine protein kinases that monitor cellular energy status and coordinate metabolic responses. The SNF1-AMPK type is exemplified by the yeast SNF1 complex and by mammalian AMPK, highlighting a shared mechanism for maintaining energy homeostasis across diverse eukaryotes.
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the SNF1 complex is a heterotrimer consisting of a catalytic α subunit (Snf1), a
Functionally, the SNF1-AMPK type responds to energy stress, promoting catabolic pathways that generate ATP and repressing
The SNF1AMPKtype thus denotes a conserved energy-sensing module with modular subunit architecture, regulated activation, and a
