Abstract

Protein kinase B (PKB, also named as Akt or RAC‐protein kinase), that is activated by cellular stress such as heat shock and hyperosmotic treatment, was revealed to be activated by oxidative stress and by chemical stressors of CdCl 2 and NaAsO 2 by measuring the activity of the enzyme immunoprecipitated from the transfected COS‐7 cells. Upon stress treatment, a 30‐kDa phosphoprotein was co‐immunoprecipitated with PKB from the cells metabolic labeled with [32 P]orthophosphate. The phosphoprotein was identified as Hsp27, a small heat shock protein, by immunoblot analysis and co‐immunoprecipitation. The association of Hsp27 was specific to PKB as the heat shock protein was not co‐immunoprecipitated with other protein kinases such as protein kinase C and PKN. When the cells were treated with H 2 O 2, PKB was activated gradually and the association of Hsp27 with PKB increased concurrently with the enhancement of PKB activity. In heat‐shocked cells, activation of PKB and the association of Hsp27 were detected immediately after the treatment, and the association of the heat shock protein decreased while PKB kept stimulated activity when the cells were further incubated at 37°C. These results suggest that Hsp27 is involved in the activation process of PKB in the signal transduction pathway of various forms of stress.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
