Abstract

Background: PIP2 generated by PIPKI family members regulates many cellular functions, and PIP2 is a PI3K substrate. Results: Loss of PIPKIγ or PIPKIγi2 impaired Akt activation. PIPKIγi2 and Src activate Akt and anchorage-independent growth. Conclusion: PI3K/Akt signaling is regulated by coupling with PIPKIγ. Significance: The coupling of PIPKIγ and PI3K indicates a mechanism for Akt activation that enhances oncogenic growth.
