The SNF1/AMPK/SnRK1 complex is an intracellular energy sensor composed of three types of subunits: the SnRK1 kinase and two regulatory, non-catalytic subunits (designated beta and gamma). We have previously described an atypical plant gamma-subunit, AKIN beta gamma, which contains an N-terminal tail similar to the so-called KIS domain normally present in beta-subunits. However, it is not known whether AKIN beta gamma normally associates with endogenous SnRK1 complexes in vivo, nor how its unique domain structure might contribute to SnRK1 function. Here, we present evidence that maize AKIN beta gamma is an integral component of active SnRK1 complexes in plant cells. Using complementary methodological approaches, we also show that AKIN beta gamma associates through homomeric interactions mediated by both, the gamma- and, unexpectedly, the KIS/CBM domain.Structured summary:MINT-7040005: AKIN (uniprotkb: B4FX20) and AKIN (uniprotkb: B4FX20) physically interact (MI: 0914) by chromatography technologies (MI: 0091)MINT-7039992: AKIN (uniprotkb: B4FX20) and AKIN (uniprotkb: B4FX20) physically interact (MI: 0915) by bimolecular fluorescence complementation (MI: 0809)MINT-7040024, MINT-7040044, MINT-7040067: AKIN (uniprotkb: B4FX20) and AKIN (uniprotkb: B4FX20) bind (MI: 0407) by pull down (MI: 0096)MINT-7039978: SnRK1 (uniprotkb: Q8H1L5) and AKIN (uniprotkb: B4FX20) physically interact (MI: 0915) by bimolecular fluorescence complementation (MI: 0809) (C) 2009 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
