Similarly, AKT has also been reported to perform the BAD phosphorylation in OC cells. PIM and the PI3K/AKT/mTOR network both can inhibit the P21 and P27 expressions in OC cells. These data suggest a strong possibility of interaction and relevance of PIM kinases and the PI3K/AKT/mTOR network in the regulation of ovarian cancer. [9]
Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) antagonises PI3K by converting PI(3,4,5)P 3 into PI(4,5)P 2. Loss of PTEN function leads to over-activation of Akt and is common in cancer cells (PTEN is a tumour suppressor). SH2-containing Inositol Phosphatase (SHIP) also dephosphorylates PI(3,4,5)P 3, at the 5' position of the inositol ring. [22]
Class II catalyse the production of PI(3)P from PI and PI(3,4)P 2 from PI(4)P; however, little is known about their role in immune cells. PI(3,4)P 2 has, however, been shown to play a role in the invagination phase of clathrin-mediated endocytosis. [17] C2α and C2β are expressed through the body, but expression of C2γ is limited to hepatocytes.
[3] [9] [10] PtdIns(3,4)P2 has been indicated to be critical for AKT (Protein kinase B, PKB) activation within the PI3K pathway through the PI’s regulation by the SHIP1 and 2 phosphatases. Akt is recruited and subsequently activated through its PH domains interaction with PtdIns(3,4)P2 and PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 both of which have shown to have high ...
Phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitors (PI3K inhibitors) are a class of medical drugs that are mainly used to treat advanced cancers. They function by inhibiting one or more of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) enzymes, which are part of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. This signal pathway regulates cellular functions such as growth and survival. It ...
Class III PI 3-kinase is a subgroup of the enzyme family, phosphoinositide 3-kinase that share a common protein domain structure, substrate specificity and method of activation. There is only one known class III PI 3-kinase, Vps34, which is also the only PI 3-kinase expressed in all eukaryotic cells. In humans it is encoded by the PIK3C3 gene.
Phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI3P) is a phospholipid found in cell membranes that helps to recruit a range of proteins, many of which are involved in protein trafficking, to the membranes. It is the product of both the class II and III phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI 3-kinases) activity on phosphatidylinositol .
Phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P 3), abbreviated PIP 3, is the product of the class I phosphoinositide 3-kinases' (PI 3-kinases) phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate (PIP 2). It is a phospholipid that resides on the plasma membrane.
