RESUMO
Members of the conserved SNF1/AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) family regulate cellular responses to environmental and nutritional stress in eukaryotes. Yeast SNF1 and animal AMPKs form a complex with regulatory SNF4/AMPKγ and SIP1/SIP2/GAL83/AMPKβ subunits. The β-subunits function as target selective adaptors that anchor the catalytic kinase and regulator SNF4/γ-subunits to their kinase association (KIS) and association with the SNF1 complex (ASC) domains. Here we demonstrate that plant SNF1-related protein kinases (SnRKs) interact with an adaptor-regulator protein, AKINβγ, in which an N-terminal KIS domain characteristic of β-subunits is fused with a C-terminal region related to the SNF4/AMPKγ proteins. AKINβγ is constitutively expressed in plants, suppresses the yeast Δsnf4 mutation, and shows glucose-regulated interaction with the Arabidopsis SnRK, AKIN11. Our results suggest that evolution of AKINβγ reflects a unique function of SNF1-related protein kinases in plant glucose and stress signalling.
