PG - 25227-40 LID - 10.1074/jbc.M114.554881 [doi] AB - The serine/threonine protein kinase Akt promotes cell survival, growth, and proliferation through phosphorylation of different downstream substrates. A key effector of Akt is the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). Akt is known to stimulate mTORC1 activity through phosphorylation of tuberous sclerosis complex 2 (TSC2) and PRAS40, both negative regulators of mTOR activity. We previously reported that IkappaB kinase alpha (IKKalpha), a component of the kinase complex that leads to NF-kappaB activation, plays an important role in promoting mTORC1 activity downstream of activated Akt. Here, we demonstrate IKKalpha-dependent regulation of mTORC1 using multiple PTEN null cancer cell lines and an animal model with deletion of IKKalpha. Importantly, IKKalpha is shown to phosphorylate mTOR at serine 1415 in a manner dependent on Akt to promote mTORC1 activity. These results demonstrate that IKKalpha is an effector of Akt in promoting mTORC1 activity. CI - (c) 2014 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.
