Inhibition of SnRK1 by metabolites: tissue-dependent effects and cooperative inhibition by glucose 1-phosphate in combination with trehalose 6-phosphate.

چکیده
SnRK1 of the SNF1/AMPK group of protein kinases is an important regulatory protein kinase in plants. SnRK1 was recently shown as a target of the sugar signal, trehalose 6-phosphate (T6P). Glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) can also inhibit SnRK1 and given the similarity in structure to T6P, we sought to establish if each could impart distinct inhibition of SnRK1. Other central metabolites, glucose 1-phosphate (G1P), fructose 6-phosphate and UDP-glucose were also tested, and additionally ribose 5-phosphate (R5P), recently reported to inhibit SnRK1 strongly in wheat grain tissue. For the metabolites that inhibited SnRK1, kinetic models show that T6P, G1P and G6P each provide distinct regulation (50% inhibition of SnRK1 at 5.4 μM, 480 μM, >1 mM, respectively). Strikingly, G1P in combination with T6P inhibited SnRK1 synergistically. R5P, in contrast to the other inhibitors, inhibited SnRK1 in green tissues only. We show that this is due to consumption of ATP in the assay mediated by phosphoribulokinase during conversion of R5P to ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate. The accompanying loss of ATP limits the activity of SnRK1 giving rise to an apparent inhibition of SnRK1. Inhibition of SnRK1 by R5P in wheat grain preparations can be explained by the presence of green pericarp tissue; this exposes an important caveat in the assessment of potential protein kinase inhibitors. Data provide further insight into the regulation of SnRK1 by metabolites.

Metabolism control over growth: a case for trehalose-6-phosphate in plants.
How plants relate their requirements for energy with the reducing power necessary to fuel growth is not understood. The activated glucose forms and NADPH are key precursors in pathways yielding, respectively, energy and reducing power for anabolic metabolism. Moreover, they are substrates or allosteric regulators of trehalose-phosphate synthase (TPS1) in fungi and probably also in plants. TPS1 ...

Trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P) is a proposed signaling molecule in plants, yet how it signals was not clear. Here, we provide evidence that T6P functions as an inhibitor of SNF1-related protein kinase1 (SnRK1; AKIN10/AKIN11) of the SNF1-related group of protein kinases. T6P, but not other sugars and sugar phosphates, inhibited SnRK1 in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) seedling extracts strongly ...

The inhibitory effects of several steroids on G6PD activity using intact erythrocytes are reported. Incubation of whole blood with dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) resulted in 42% and 12% inhibition in the enzyme activity in the presence and absence of oxygen, respectively. Addition of epinephrine and/or aminophylline into the incubation medium caused further enzyme inhibition suggesting a po...

Considerable interest has been evoked by the analysis of the regulatory pathway in carbohydrate metabolism and cell growth involving the non-reducing disaccharide trehalose (TRE). TRE is at small concentrations in mesophytes such as Arabidopsis thaliana and Triticum aestivum, excluding a role in osmoregulation once suggested for it. Studies of TRE metabolism, and genetic modification of it, hav...
