Loss of PI3k activity of inositol polyphosphate multikinase impairs PDK1-mediated AKT activation, cell migration, and intestinal homeostasis.

ABSTRACT: Protein kinase B (AKT) is essential for cell survival, proliferation, and migration and has been associated with several diseases. Here, we demonstrate that inositol polyphosphate multikinase (IPMK's) lipid kinase property drives AKT activation via increasing membrane localization and activation of PDK1 (3-Phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1), largely independent of class I PI3k (cPI3K). Deletion of IPMK impairs cell migration, which is partially associated with the abolition of PDK1-mediated ROCK1 disinhibition and subsequent myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation. IPMK is highly expressed in intestinal epithelial cells (IEC). Deleting IPMK in IEC reduced AKT phosphorylation and diminished the number of Paneth cells. Ablation of IPMK impaired IEC regeneration both basally and after chem
