Receptor-specific mechanisms regulate phosphorylation of AKT at Ser473: role of RICTOR in β1 integrin-mediated cell survival.

A tight control over AKT/PKB activation is essential for cells, and they realise this in part by regulating the phosphorylation of Ser473 in the "hydrophobic motif" of the AKT carboxy-terminal region. The RICTOR-mTOR complex (TORC2) is a major kinase for AKT Ser473 phosphorylation after st...
