Descriptions
(Annotation based on sequence homology with P31749)
The protein kinase Akt is one of the primary effectors of growth factor signaling in the cell. Akt responds specifically to the lipid second messengers phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P3] and phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bisphosphate [PI(3,4)P2] via its autoinhibitory domain (PH domain). Recruitment of Akt to PI(3,4,5)P3 in the plasma membrane promotes its phosphorylation by phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 (PDK1) in its activation loop (T308). Phosphorylation of S473 within AGC kinase C-terminal domain activates Akt through the formation of an electrostatic interaction with a conserved basic residue (R144) in the PH-kinase domain linker, thereby relieving PH domain- mediated autoinhibition.
