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

Weiwen Yang, Chaoyi Li, Jingyi Shi…·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.

Limited involvement of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II alpha and beta in mammalian sleep

Weiwen Yang, Jingyi Shi, Chenggang Li…·Yi Rao

The paper reexamines the sleep phenotype in Camk2a and Camk2b knockout mice, finding sleep reduction in Camk2a but not Camk2b mutants, and both participating in homeostatic sleep rebound.
