| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Akt/PKA (A kinase) is one of key molecules in insulin signaling, functions in various critical steps in signal transduction for maintaining cellular homeostasis, leading to cell survival and /or longevity. The Akt activity regulates through the phosphorylation by PDK1, under the insulin signaling, and mTORC2/PDK2. Interestingly, in this research, we identified HDAC6 (histone deacetylase) and Mdm20 (an auxiliary subunit of NatB) as the novel regulators of Akt activity. Furthermore, we found that Mdm20 regulates the expression levels of Rictor, one of components of mTORC2 and HDAC6 regulates interaction with each components of mTORC1 and mTORC2. These acetyl-related molecules break through the concept of acetyl modification function in cytoplasm and simultaneously hold promise for the effect of anti-ageing through the regulation of Akt activity under the insulin signaling by in the future.
