This paper reports the first use of DNA microarrays to analyze changes in the genomic pattern of gene expression during the diauxic shift. The expression of many genes either increased or decreased as cells adapted to glucose depletion. The expression of genes encoding known metabolic functions correlated with the metabolic changes occurring during the shift from fermentation to respiration.

This paper shows that the Sip1, Sip2, and Gal83 proteins serve a scaffolding function, maintaining the association of the Snf1 kinase and the Snf4 activating subunit in the kinase complex. Each of these scaffold proteins contains a conserved carboxy-terminal domain that binds to Snf4 and a conserved internal region that interacts with the carboxyl terminus of the Snf1 regulatory domain.

Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1996, 95:6245-6250. Reg1 is a regulatory subunit that associates with Glc7, the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 1, and affects the regulation of the Snf1 kinase. This paper shows that Reg1 interacts with the kinase domain of Snf1 when the kinase is activated in glucose-limiting conditions. These findings indicate that protein phosphatase 1 has a direct role in modulating Snf1 activity, presumably by dephosphorylating Snf1 or another component of the kinase complex, and facilitating a return to the autoinhibited state.

Mol Cell Biol 1997, 17:2502-2510. This paper, together with [50], presents evidence that the Snf1 kinase regulates the activating function of Cat8 and is required for phosphorylation of some sites on Cat8 in derepressed cells. Phosphorylation of Cat8 correlates with activation of gluconeogenic genes. It is also shown that expression of CAT8 is subject to glucose repression mediated by Mig1.

The subcellular localization of Mig1 was examined by monitoring a green fluorescent protein - Mig1 fusion. Mig1 was found to be rapidly imported into the nucleus when glucose was added to the medium and exported to the cytoplasm when glucose was removed. This regulation requires Snf1 activity and correlates temporally with the differential phosphorylation of Mig1 that occurs in response to high and low glucose levels.

Phosphorylation sites that mediate Snf1-dependent inhibition were identified in a Mig1 - V16 fusion protein that functions as an activator.

Phosphorylation of Mig1 in response to glucose limitation was shown to require the Snf1 kinase. Mutation of putative Snf1 recognition sites affected phosphorylation of Mig1 in vivo and improved the two-hybrid interaction between Mig1 and Snf1. Immunoprecipitated Snf1 phosphorylated coprecipitating Mig1 in vitro.

51. Vincent O, Carlson M: Sip4, a Snf1 kinase-dependent transcriptional activator, binds to the carbon source-responsive element of gluconeogenic genes. EMBO J 1998, 17:7002-7008. The Sip4 activator protein, which was first identified by its two-hybrid interaction with Snf1, is shown to bind the carbon source-responsive element (CSRE) that mediates activation of gluconeogenic genes. Expression of SIP4 is activated by Cat8, expression of CAT8 is regulated by Snf1 via Mig1 [36•,50], and function of both activators is regulated by Snf1. Hence, the Snf1 kinase exerts control at multiple points in a multilayered regulatory cascade controlling gluconeogenic gene transcription in response to glucose.
