Gene Group (FlyBase)
AMPK COMPLEX -
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a heterotrimeric serine/threonine kinase complex which can act as an 'energy sensor' to regulate cellular energy metabolism. Energy stress manifests as a drop in the ratio of ATP to AMP/ADP, which activates AMPK's kinase activity, allowing it to upregulate ATP-generating catabolic pathways and to reduce energy-consuming catabolic pathways and cellular programs: inhibits protein, carbohydrate and lipid biosynthesis, as well as cell growth and proliferation. AMPK acts via direct phosphorylation of metabolic enzymes, and by longer-term effects via phosphorylation of transcription regulators. (Adapted from FBrf0234007, FBrf0241085 and Complex Portal.)

Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

      Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) down-regulates a distinct splice isoform(s) of this gene.

      SNF4Aγ is involved in neurodegeneration and cholesterol homeostatis.

      Area matching Drosophila EST AA539974.

      Mutants show age-dependent neurodegeneration.

      Additional comments

      Annotations CG17299 and CG5806 merged as CG17299 in release 3 of the genome annotation.

      Southern analysis suggests that SNF4 is present as two copies in the genome that are relatively divergent.
