Structured_description Provisional_descriptionkin-29 encodes a serine/threonine kinase with significant homology in the kinase domain to the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and SNF1 kinases; the AMP-kinase cascade is activated by cellular stresses that deplete ATP; AMP-kinase is believed to protect the mammalian cell by 'switching off' ATP-consuming pathways like fatty acid synthesis, by phosphorylating key regulatory enzymes, and switching on alternative pathways for ATP generation; kin-29 is involved in regulating the expression of chemosensory receptors and entry into the daur pathway; kin-29 also affects body size via interaction with the Sma/Mab pathway and lifespan, with mutants exhibiting a smaller body size and increased life span; a functional KIN-29-GFP fusion protein is expressed in sensory neurons and many other cell types, and localizes to the cytoplasm; under conditions of cellular stress like heat shock and starvation, KIN-29-GFP translocates to the nucleus.
