AKT was originally identified as a proto-oncogene with a pleckstrin homology and Ser/Thr protein kinase domains. Recent studies revealed that AKT regulates a variety of cellular functions including cell survival, cell growth, cell differentiation, cell cycle progression, transcription, translation, and cellular metabolism. To clarify:the substrate specificity of AKT, we have used an oriented peptide library approach to determine optimal amino acids at positions N-terminal and C-terminal to the site of phosphorylation. The predicted optimal peptide substrate (Arg-Lys-Arg-Xaa-Arg-Thr-Tyr-Ser*-Phe-Gly where Ser* is the phosphorylation site) has similarities to but is distinct from optimal substrates that we previously defined for related basophilic protein kinases such: as protein kinase A, Ser/Arg-rich kinases, and protein kinase C family members. The positions most important for high V-max/K-m ratio were Arg-3>Arg-5>Arg-7. The substrate specificity of AKT was further investigated by screening a lambda GEX phage HeLa cell cDNA expression library. All of the substrates identified by this procedure contained Arg-Xaa-Arg-Xaa-Xaa-(Ser/Thr) motifs and were in close agreement with the motif identified by peptide library screening. The results of this study should help in prediction of likely AKT substrates from Primary sequences.
