It is therefore not surprising that Akt amplification due to dysregulation of PI3K has been implicated in many cancers.

Full activation of Akt is achieved by mTORC2-mediated phosphorylation at serine 473 (S473) and facilitates such processes as cell growth, cell cycle progression, and cell survival. PIP 3 interacts with the pleckstrin homology domain of Akt, causing a conformational change that allows PDK1 (kinase 3-phosphoinositide–dependent protein kinase-1) to partially activate Akt by phosphorylating threonine 308 (T308). The associated p110 subunit is then activated to phosphorylate phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP 2) and produces phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PIP 3). During T cell receptor activation, PI3K is recruited to the plasma membrane via the SH2 domain of the p85 subunit. Class I PI3Ks, which are prevalent in immune cells, are composed of two subunits: a regulatory subunit (p85) and a catalytic subunit (p110 Fruman et al., 1998 Fresno Vara et al., 2004 Engelman, 2009). Phosphatidylinositide-3-kinases (PI3Ks) are a family of lipid kinases that play important intracellular signaling roles in cellular processes such as proliferation, motility, growth, intracellular trafficking, differentiation, and survival ( Cantley, 2002 Fruman, 2007 Han et al., 2012). Thus, TrIP is a negative regulator of T cell activation and may represent a novel target for immune modulation. Using an inducible knockout mouse model, we show that TrIP-deficient T cells exhibit more robust activation and can mediate clearance of Listeria monocytogenes infection faster than WT mice. In addition, we present evidence that the kringle domain may modulate TrIP function by mediating oligomerization. We show that both the kringle and p85-like domains are necessary for TrIP inhibition of PI3K and that TrIP is down-modulated from the surface of T cells during T cell activation. TrIP contains an extracellular kringle domain and an intracellular domain with homology to the inter-SH2 domain of the PI3K regulatory subunit p85, but the mechanism of TrIP function is poorly understood. PIK3IP1 (or transmembrane inhibitor of PI3K ) is a putative transmembrane regulator of PI3K.
Phosphatidylinositol-3 kinases (PI3Ks) modulate cellular growth, proliferation, and survival dysregulation of the PI3K pathway can lead to autoimmune disease and cancer.
