“Structural basis for the recruitment and selective phosphorylation of Akt by mTORC2”

mTOR 蛋白激酶形成两个多蛋白复合物——mTORC1 和 mTORC2,它们分别参与不同的信号通路。mTORC1 受营养物质调控,而 mTORC2 是磷脂酰肌醇-3 激酶(PI3K)和小 GTP 酶 Ras 信号网络中的关键节点,这些网络在癌症和糖尿病中常发生失调。尽管 mTOR 在体外能够磷酸化许多底物,但在细胞中,mTORC1 和 mTORC2 具有高度特异性:mTORC2 可磷酸化蛋白激酶 Akt 和 PKC,而不会作用于那些与之密切相关、却是 mTORC1 底物的激酶。
为了理解 mTORC2 如何识别其底物,来自美国波士顿布列根和妇女医院的Philip A. Cole,斯坦福大学医学院的Kacper B. Rogala以及俄亥俄州立大学综合癌症中心医学院的Nam Chu合作构建了半合成探针,用于捕获 mTORC2–Akt 复合物并解析其结构。大多数蛋白激酶通过识别磷酸化位点附近的氨基酸序列来识别底物,但对于 mTORC2 而言,局部序列对底物识别的贡献很小。相反,决定特异性的因素是 Akt 的二级和三级结构元素,这些结构在远离 mTOR 活性位点的位置与 mTORC2 组分 mSin1 结合,并且在至少 18 个相关底物中是保守的。这些结果揭示了 mTORC2 如何识别其经典底物,并可能为设计特异性针对 mTORC2 的抑制剂提供新的思路。
