Abstract excerpt
Protein kinase B (PKB; also known as Akt) is important for mediating survival and proliferation signals. Following activation, PKB shuttles to various compartments of the cell, including the nucleus, where it phosphorylates an array of targets. PKB is phosphorylated at T308 by its activator PDK1. PDK1 is normally excluded from the nucleus via a nuclear exclusion sequence (NES), and our previous work suggested...
