AKT2

P31751

Catalyzes the first reaction in the catabolism of theessential branched chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, andvaline. AKT2 is one of 3 closely related serine/threonine-protein kinases (AKT1, AKT2 and AKT3) called the AKT kinase, andwhich regulate many processes including metabolism, proliferation,cell survival, growth and angiogenesis. This is mediated throughserine and/or threonine phosphorylation of a range of downstreamsubstrates. Over 100 substrate candidates have been reported sofar, but for most of them, no isoform specificity has beenreported. AKT is responsible of the regulation of glucose uptakeby mediating insulin-induced translocation of the SLC2A4/GLUT4glucose transporter to the cell surface. Phosphorylation of PTPN1at 'Ser-50' negatively modulates its phosphatase activitypreventing dephosphorylation of the insulin receptor and theattenuation of insulin signaling. Phosphorylation of TBC1D4triggers the binding of this effector to inhibitory 14-3-3proteins, which is required for insulin-stimulated glucosetransport. AKT regulates also the storage of glucose in the formof glycogen by phosphorylating GSK3A at 'Ser-21' and GSK3B at'Ser-9', resulting in inhibition of its kinase activity.Phosphorylation of GSK3 isoforms by AKT is also thought to be onemechanism by which cell proliferation is driven. AKT regulatesalso cell survival via the phosphorylation of MAP3K5 (apoptosissignal-related kinase). Phosphorylation of 'Ser-83' decreasesMAP3K5 kinase activity stimulated by oxidative stress and therebyprevents apoptosis. AKT mediates insulin-stimulated proteinsynthesis by phosphorylating TSC2 at 'Ser-939' and 'Thr-1462',thereby activating mTORC1 signaling and leading to bothphosphorylation of 4E-BP1 and in activation of RPS6KB1. AKT isinvolved in the phosphorylation of members of the FOXO factors(Forkhead family of transcription factors), leading to binding of14-3-3 proteins and cytoplasmic localization. In particular, FOXO1is phosphorylated at 'Thr-24', 'Ser-256' and 'Ser-319'. FOXO3 andFOXO4 are phosphorylated on equivalent sites. AKT has an importantrole in the regulation of NF-kappa-B-dependent gene transcriptionand positively regulates the activity of CREB1 (cyclic AMP (cAMP)-response element binding protein). The phosphorylation of CREB1induces the binding of accessory proteins that are necessary forthe transcription of pro-survival genes such as BCL2 and MCL1. AKTphosphorylates 'Ser-454' on ATP citrate lyase (ACLY), therebypotentially regulating ACLY activity and fatty acid synthesis.Activates the 3B isoform of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase(PDE3B) via phosphorylation of 'Ser-273', resulting in reducedcyclic AMP levels and inhibition of lipolysis. PhosphorylatesPIKFYVE on 'Ser-318', which results in increased PI(3)P-5activity. The Rho GTPase-activating protein DLC1 is anothersubstrate and its phosphorylation is implicated in the regulationcell proliferation and cell growth. AKT plays a role as keymodulator of the AKT-mTOR signaling pathway controlling the tempoof the process of newborn neurons integration during adultneurogenesis, including correct neuron positioning, dendriticdevelopment and synapse formation. Signals downstream ofphosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI(3)K) to mediate the effects ofvarious growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), insulin and insulin-likegrowth factor I (IGF-I). AKT mediates the antiapoptotic effects ofIGF-I. Essential for the SPATA13-mediated regulation of cellmigration and adhesion assembly and disassembly. May be involvedin the regulation of the placental development. One of the few specific substrates of AKT2 identifiedrecently is PITX2. Phosphorylation of PITX2 impairs itsassociation with the CCND1 mRNA-stabilizing complex thusshortening the half-life of CCND1. AKT2 seems also to be theprincipal isoform responsible of the regulation of glucose uptake.Phosphorylates C2CD5 on 'Ser-197' during insulin-stimulatedadipocytes. AKT2 is also specifically involved in skeletal muscledifferentiation, one of its substrates in this process beingANKRD2. Down-regulation by RNA interference reduces the expressionof the phosphorylated form of BAD, resulting in the induction ofcaspase-dependent apoptosis. Phosphorylates CLK2 on 'Thr-343'.
