Abstract:

The sucrose non-fermenting 1 (SNF1) protein kinase plays important roles in process of biotic growth and development. In yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and mammals, it regulates the protein-protein interaction, activity regulation and the gene expression of the substrate in response to changing nutrient sources or energy demands and SNF1-related kinase (SnRK1) proteins are present in plants. The sucrose non-fermenting 1-related protein kinase (SnRK) is homologous of SNF1 and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which widely exists in plant and involves in a variety of signaling pathways. SnRK has been divided into three sub-families: SnRK1, SnRK2 and SnRK3. SnRK is the key switches in plant sugar signal, stress, seed germination and seedling growth. In this review, we summarized the progress of SnRK protein kinase family and the structure, substrate, regulation and gene expression of SnRK1.
