ABSTRACT

The protein kinase Akt is activated by growth factors and promotes cell survival and cell cycle progression. Here, we demonstrate that Akt phosphorylates the cell cycle inhibitory protein p21Cip1 at Thr 145 in vitro and in intact cells as shown by in vitro kinase assays, site-directed mutagenesis, and phospho-peptide analysis. Akt-dependent phosphorylation of p21Cip1 at Thr 145 prevents the complex formation of p21Cip1 with PCNA, which inhibits DNA replication. In addition, phosphorylation of p21Cip1 at Thr 145 decreases the binding of the cyclin-dependent kinases Cdk2 and Cdk4 to p21Cip1 and attenuates the Cdk2 inhibitory activity of p21Cip1. Immunohistochemistry and biochemical fractionation reveal that the decrease of PCNA binding and regulation of Cdk activity by p21Cip1 phosphorylation is not caused by altered intracellular localization of p21Cip1. As a functional consequence, phospho-mimetic mutagenesis of Thr 145 reverses the cell cycle-inhibitory properties of p21Cip1, whereas the nonphosphorylatable p21Cip1 T145A construct arrests cells in G0 phase. These data suggest that the modulation of p21Cip1 cell cycle functions by Akt-mediated phosphorylation regulates endothelial cell proliferation in response to stimuli that activate Akt.
