Abstract excerpt
The 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1) mediates the cellular effect of insulin and growth factors by activating a group of kinases including PKB/Akt, S6K, RSK, SGK and PKC isoforms. PDK1 possesses two regulatory domains namely a Pleckstrin Homology (PH) domain that binds to the phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3)] second messenger, and a substrate binding site termed the...
