An Essential Role of the AMPK-Related Kinase SNRK in Regulating Drosophila Sleep

Weiwen Yang, Chaoyi Li, Jingyi Shi, Renbo Mao, Xinyue Xiong, Shichao Fan, Wenxia Zhang, Yi Rao

This study identifies SNRK as essential for sleep regulation in Drosophila, showing that its loss causes severe sleep loss, which is rescued by neuronal SNRK expression or nicotinic acetylcholine receptor blockade.
