The kinase complex mTORC2 is widely accepted as controlling phosphorylation of the hydrophobic motif, a key regulatory switch in the C-terminal tail of protein kinase C (PKC), Akt, and other AGC kinases. Yet the biochemical mechanism by which it controls this site and whether mTOR is the direct hydrophobic motif kinase remain controversial. Here we identify a distinct mTOR-mediated phosphorylation site we term the TOR-Interaction Motif (TIM; F-x3-F-pT), which controls hydrophobic motif phosphorylation and activity of PKC and Akt. The TIM is invariant in all mTOR-dependent kinases, is evolutionarily conserved, and co-evolved with mTORC2 components. Mutation of this motif alone in Akt1 (Thr443) or together with the turn motif in PKCβII (Thr634/Thr641) abolishes cellular kinase activity by impairing activation loop and hydrophobic motif phosphorylation. mTORC2 directly phosphorylates the PKC TIM in vitro, and its phosphorylation is detected in mouse brain by mass spectrometry. Overexpression of PDK1 in cells lacking mTORC2 rescues hydrophobic motif phosphorylation of PKC and Akt by a mechanism that depends on their intrinsic catalytic, revealing that mTORC2 facilitates the PDK1 phosphorylation step, which in turn permits autophosphorylation. Analysis of a previously reported PKCβII crystal structure reveals a PKC homodimer driven by a helix containing the TIM. Biophysical proximity assays show that unphosphorylated PKC, but not phosphorylated PKC, dynamically dimerizes in cells. Furthermore, disruption of the dimer interface by stapled peptides promotes hydrophobic motif phosphorylation. Our data support a model in which mTORC2 relieves nascent PKC dimerization through TIM phosphorylation, recruiting PDK1 to phosphorylate the activation loop, and triggering intramolecular hydrophobic motif autophosphorylation. Identification of TIM phosphorylation and its role in the regulation of PKC provides the basis for AGC kinase regulation by mTORC2. mTORC2 binds and phosphorylates a conserved TOR-Interaction Motif in the C-tail of PKC and Akt to regulate hydrophobic motif autophosphorylation and kinase activation.
