"In terms of the modulation of PDK1 activity by reversible phosphorylation, five pS sites have been identified on PDK1 in vivo, but only one of these sites, Ser-241 in the activation loop of PDK1, is essential for activity. It seems likely that PDK1 autophosphorylates itself on this residue."
"Using site-directed mutants, we show that, although phosphorylation on tyr-373/376 is important for pdk1 activity, phosphorylation on tyr-9 has no effect on the activity of the kinase. Both of these residues can be phosphorylated by v-src tyrosine kinase in vitro, and co-expression of v-src leads to tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of pdk1."
"We tested the kinase in the presence of several inositol phospholipids and found that only low micromolar concentrations of the D enantiomers of either phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-triphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) or PtdIns(3,4)P2 were effective in potently activating the kinase, which has been named PtdIns(3,4,5)P3-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1)"
"Recent reports have also shown that the phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (pdk-1), which binds with high affinity to the pi 3-kinase lipid product phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (ptdins-3,4,5-p), phosphorylates and potently activates two other pi 3-kinase targets, the protein kinases akt/pkb and p70s6k."

"PDK1 kinase activity is negatively regulated by binding to 14-3-3 through the PDK1 autophosphorylation site Ser-241. PDK1 binds to 14-3-3 in vivo and in vitro through the residues surrounding the autophosphorylation site Ser-241 and that the association is achieved only when Ser-241 has been phosphorylated"
