General annotation (Comments)
| Function | AMP/ATP-binding subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an energy sensor protein kinase that plays a key role in regulating cellular energy metabolism. In response to reduction of intracellular ATP levels, AMPK activates energy-producing pathways and inhibits energy-consuming processes: 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. Also acts as a regulator of cellular polarity by remodeling the actin cytoskeleton; probably by indirectly activating myosin. Gamma non-catalytic subunit mediates binding to AMP, ADP and ATP, leading to activate or inhibit AMPK: AMP-binding results in allosteric activation of alpha catalytic subunit (PRKAA1 or PRKAA2) both by inducing phosphorylation and preventing dephosphorylation of catalytic subunits. ADP also stimulates phosphorylation, without stimulating already phosphorylated catalytic subunit. ATP promotes dephosphorylation of catalytic subunit, rendering the AMPK enzyme inactive. Ref.8 |
| Subunit structure | AMPK is a heterotrimer of an alpha catalytic subunit (PRKAA1 or PRKAA2), a beta (PRKAB1 or PRKAB2) and a gamma non-catalytic subunits (PRKAG1, PRKAG2 or PRKAG3). Interacts with FNIP1 and FNIP2. |
| Tissue specificity | Isoform B is ubiquitously expressed except in liver and thymus. The highest level is detected in heart with abundant expression in placenta and testis. |
| Domain | The AMPK pseudosubstrate motif resembles the sequence around sites phosphorylated on target proteins of AMPK, except the presence of a non-phosphorylatable residue in place of Ser. In the absence of AMP this pseudosubstrate sequence may bind to the active site groove on the alpha subunit (PRKAA1 or PRKAA2), preventing phosphorylation by the upstream activating kinase STK11/LKB1. Ref.8 Ref.9 The CBS domains mediate binding to AMP, ADP and ATP. 2 sites bind either AMP or ATP, whereas a third site contains a tightly bound AMP that does not exchange. Under physiological conditions AMPK mainly exists in its inactive form in complex with ATP, which is much more abundant than AMP. Ref.8 Ref.9 |
| Post-translational modification | Phosphorylated by ULK1; leading to negatively regulate AMPK activity and suggesting the existence of a regulatory feedback loop between ULK1 and AMPK. Ref.12 |
| Involvement in disease | Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPWS) [MIM:194200]: A supernormal conduction disorder characterized by the presence of one or several accessory atrioventricular connections, which can lead to episodes of sporadic tachycardia. Cardiomyopathy, familial hypertrophic 6 (CMH6) [MIM:600858]: A hereditary heart disorder characterized by ventricular hypertrophy, which is usually asymmetric and often involves the interventricular septum. The symptoms include dyspnea, syncope, collapse, palpitations, and chest pain. They can be readily provoked by exercise. The disorder has inter- and intrafamilial variability ranging from benign to malignant forms with high risk of cardiac failure and sudden cardiac death. CMH6 patients present Wolff-Parkinson-White ventricular preexcitation, enlarged myocytes without myofiber disarray, and glycogen-containing cytosolic vacuoles within cardiomyocytes. Glycogen storage disease of heart lethal congenital (GSDH) [MIM:261740]: Rare disease which leads to death within a few weeks to a few months after birth, through heart failure and respiratory compromise. |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase gamma subunit family. Contains 4 CBS domains. |
| Sequence caution | The sequence AAH20540.2 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. The sequence AAS02032.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous gene model prediction. The sequence BAA84695.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at positions 228 and 233. Frameshifts are upstream of the initiating Met of isoform B. |
