Abstract

Here we report a regulatory mechanism by which LKB1 is controlled by 14-3-3 proteins through phorsphorylation of Thr336. The results from the current study indicate that 14-3-3 ζ inhibits LKB1 from phosphorylating its substrate, AMPK (AMP-dependent protein kinase) and attenuates LKB1-mediated G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis by interfering with the interaction between LKB1 and its substrates. This regulation does not change either the LKB1 catalytic activity or subcellular localization of LKB1. Moreover, we demonstrate that serum starvation enhances LKB1 activity and increases the phosphorylation of Thr336. Taken together, our results suggest that autophosphorylation of Thr336 acts as an activating signal for LKB1 to recruit 14-3-3, which in turn attenuates the activation of LKB1 to keep the activity of LKB1 in check.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
