Today the Devarenne Lab had a paper published in Biochimica et Biophysica Acta – Protein & Proteomics describing the identification and in vitro characterization of a new α-subunit of the tomato SnRK1 complex called SnRK1.2. The study characterizes the differences in kinase activity for SnKR1.2 as compared to the previously characterized α-subunit SnRK1.1. These studies were led by former graduate student Dongyin Su.
