Inhibition of Chk1 by Activated PKB/Akt
Abstract:We have shown recently that DNA damage effector kinase Chk1 is phosphorylated invitro by protein kinase B/Akt (PKB/Akt) on serine 280. Activation of Chk1 by DNAdamage in vivo is suppressed in presence of activated PKB. In this study we show thatChk1 is phosphorylated by PKB in vivo, and that increased phosphorylation by PKB onserine 280 correlates with impairment of Chk1 activation by DNA damage. Our resultsindicate a likely mechanism for the negative effects that phosphorylation of serine 280has on activation of Chk1. The Chk1 protein phosphorylated by PKB on serine 280 doesnot enter into protein complexes after replication arrest. Moreover, Chk1 phosphorylatedby PKB fails to undergo activating phosphorylation on serine 345 by ATM/ATR.Phosphorylation by ATM/ATR and association with other checkpoint proteins areessential steps in activation of Chk1. Inhibition of these steps provides a plausibleexplanation for the observed attenuation of Chk1 activation by activated PKB after DNAdamage.
