    Abstract As its role in tumor progression emerges, the PI3K/PKB (Akt) pathway presents an appealing cancer therapeutic target. Recent studies have investigated the mechanisms underlying the tumor-promoting effects of this pathway. PKB triggers a network that positively regulates G1/S cell cycle progression through inactivation of GSK3-beta, leading to increased cyclin D1, and inhibition of Forkhead family transcription factors and the tumor suppressor tuberin (TSC2), leading to reduction of p27Kip1. The identification of p21Waf1/Cip1 and p27Kip1 as novel substrates of PKB provided new insights into mechanisms whereby hyperactivation of this lipid signaling pathway may lead to cell cycle deregulation in human cancers. The PI3K pathway may also play a key role in the G2/M transition and its constitutive activation may lead to defects in DNA damage checkpoint control.

    Abstract A key regulatory step in translation is initiation, or the recruitment of the translational machinery to the 5' end of mRNA. The 5' terminus of most mRNAs is demarcated by a m7GpppN cap (where m is a methyl group, and N is any nucleotide). The m7 cap is essential for the translation of most mRNAs, as it directs the translational machinery to the 5' end of the mRNA via its interaction with the cap binding protein, the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E). eIF4E is the limiting initiation factor in most cells. Thus, eIF4E activity plays a principal role in determining global translation rates. Consistent with this role, eIF4E is required for cell cycle progression, exhibits anti-apoptotic activity, and, when overexpressed, transforms cells. This review focuses upon the various mechanisms utilized in the regulation of eIF4E activity. (1) eIF4E is regulated transcriptionally; it is one of the few identified transcriptional targets of c-myc. (2) eIF4E is phosphorylated following activation of the MNK1 kinase, a substrate of the ERK and p38 MAPKs. The recent determination of the three-dimensional structure of eIF4E bound to a m7 cap analog has provided insight into the mechanisms involved in the regulation of the eIF4E-cap and eIF4E-mRNA interactions. As suggested by the crystal structure, phosphorylation of eIF4E may enhance its affinity for mRNA. (3) eIF4E is also regulated through binding to a family of translational repressor proteins. Interaction with the 4E-BPs prevents the incorporation of eIF4E into an active translation initiation complex, and thus, inhibits cap-dependent translation. This inhibitory interaction is relieved following phosphorylation of the 4E-BPs by a PI3K-dependent pathway, involving signalling by the anti-apoptotic kinase Akt/PKB, as well as FRAP/mTOR.
