説明

<jats:p> Activation of the protein p70 <jats:sup>s6k</jats:sup> by mitogens leads to increased translation of a family of messenger RNAs that encode essential components of the protein synthetic apparatus. Activation of the kinase requires hierarchical phosphorylation at multiple sites, culminating in the phosphorylation of the threonine in position 229 (Thr <jats:sup>229</jats:sup> ), in the catalytic domain. The homologous site in protein kinase B (PKB), Thr <jats:sup>308</jats:sup> , has been shown to be phosphorylated by the phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase PDK1. A regulatory link between p70 <jats:sup>s6k</jats:sup> and PKB was demonstrated, as PDK1 was found to selectively phosphorylate p70 <jats:sup>s6k</jats:sup> at Thr <jats:sup>229</jats:sup> . More importantly, PDK1 activated p70 <jats:sup>s6k</jats:sup> in vitro and in vivo, whereas the catalytically inactive PDK1 blocked insulin-induced activation of p70 <jats:sup>s6k</jats:sup> . </jats:p>
