The serine/threonine kinases of the Akt/protein kinase B family are regulated in part by recruitment to the plasma membrane, which is accomplished by the binding of an N-terminal PH domain to the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase products phosphoinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate and phosphoinositol 3,4-bisphosphate. We have examined Akt localization in a murine T cell clone (D10) before and after stimulation by APC/Ag, and we found that whereas the pleckstrin homology domain is required for plasma membrane recruitment of Akt upon T cell activation, the C terminus of the kinase restricts its cellular localization to the immunologic synapse formed at the site of T cell/APC contact. A recently described proline-rich motif in this region appears to be important for proper localization of full-length Akt. Moreover, a form of Akt in which this motif was mutated acts as a potent dominant negative construct to block T cell activation. Therefore, multiple mechanisms are involved in the proper targeting of Akt during the early events of T cell activation.
