Function

Kinase that plays a key role in regulation of glucose and fatty acid metabolism and homeostasis via phosphorylation of the pyruvate dehydrogenase subunits PDHA1 and PDHA2. This inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase activity, and thereby regulates metabolite flux through the tricarboxylic acid cycle, down-regulates aerobic respiration and inhibits the formation of acetyl-coenzyme A from pyruvate. Plays an important role in cellular responses to hypoxia and is important for cell proliferation under hypoxia. Protects cells against apoptosis in response to hypoxia and oxidative stress.

Activity summary

The PDK1 protein also known as 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 is a kinase enzyme coded by the PDPK1 gene. PDK1 has a molecular weight of approximately 63 kDa. It is expressed across a variety of tissues including high levels in the heart pancreas liver skeletal muscle and in certain brain regions. This kinase plays a pivotal role in cellular signaling pathways due to its ability to phosphorylate other proteins.

Biological function summary

PDK1 acts as a master regulator of the AGC family of kinases which includes proteins like PKB/Akt S6K and SGK. By phosphorylating these proteins PDK1 controls cell growth glycogen synthesis and apoptosis. It does not function within a complex but operates as an important activator in phosphorylation events influencing several downstream cellular responses. By modulating kinase activity PDK1 significantly impacts cellular metabolism and survival pathways.

Pathways

PDK1 serves as a critical component in the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and the mTOR pathway. In the PI3K/Akt pathway PDK1 phosphorylates and activates Akt leading to varied outcomes such as glucose uptake cell proliferation and resistance to apoptosis under stressful conditions. The relationship between PDK1 and other proteins like mTOR highlights its importance in regulating cell growth and survival through nutrient-sensing mechanisms.

Associated diseases and disorders

PDK1 is heavily implicated in cancer development and diabetes. Aberrant activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway often driven by mutations influencing PDK1 activity is a common feature in many cancers. PDK1's role in modulating insulin signaling also connects it to type 2 diabetes where insulin resistance is a characteristic issue. Through these pathways PDK1 interacts with oncogenes and proteins like PTEN further influencing disease progression and treatment outcomes.
