ABSTRACT AMPK is a metabolic stress-sensing kinase with important functions for red blood cell (RBC) survival. By using a proteomic approach, we identified putative AMPK targets in hemoglobin-depleted lysates of RBC, including metabolic enzymes, cytoskeletal proteins and enzymes involved in the oxidative stress response. These data tie in with the phenotypic observations of AMPKalpha1-deficient RBC and provide reference for future studies.
