Snf1 Activators

Chemicals classified as Snf1 activators primarily function by modulating energy metabolism pathways, leading to an increase in the AMP/ATP ratio, which in turn activates Snf1. Activators of this class inhibit the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex 1 or glycolysis respectively, causing an energy stress condition that activates Snf1. These molecules, by causing an increase in the AMP/ATP ratio, induce a state of energy stress in the cell, leading to the activation of Snf1.

Snf1 activators function by activating AMPK, the mammalian homologue of Snf1. These compounds activate AMPK, which shares a similar energy sensing role with Snf1, suggesting that they can also activate Snf1 in yeast. These molecules, by specifically activating AMPK, may indirectly lead to the activation of Snf1, highlighting the conserved role of these kinases in maintaining energy homeostasis in cells.
