Abstract excerpt
Snf1 is the ortholog of mammalian AMP-activated kinase and is responsible for activation of glucose-repressed genes at low glucose levels in budding yeast. We show that Snf1 promotes the formation of phosphorylated alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2alpha-P), a regulator of general and gene-specific translation, by stimulating the function of eIF2alpha kinase Gcn2 during histidine...
