Activation of the essential kinase PDK1 by phosphoinositide-driven trans-autophosphorylation
The essential protein kinase PDK1 is activated by phospoinositide-mediated dimerization and trans-autophosphorylation. Here, the authors show that in the absence of PIP3 or PI(3,4)P2 phosphoinositides, PDK1 is maintained in an inactive, autoinhibited conformation in the cytosol.
