Akt Promotes Cell Survival by Phosphorylating and Inhibiting a Forkhead Transcription Factor

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Akt also regulates the activity of FKHRL1, a member of the Forkhead family of transcription factors, which triggers apoptosis most likely by inducing the expression of genes that are critical for cell death, such as the Fas ligand gene.

Targeting HIF-1 for cancer therapy

TL;DR: Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) activates the transcription of genes that are involved in crucial aspects of cancer biology, including angiogenesis, cell survival, glucose metabolism and invasion.

Akt Phosphorylation of BAD Couples Survival Signals to the Cell-Intrinsic Death Machinery

TL;DR: It is shown that growth factor activation of the PI3'K/Akt signaling pathway culminates in the phosphorylation of the BCL-2 family member BAD, thereby suppressing apoptosis and promoting cell survival.

TOR signaling in growth and metabolism.

TL;DR: The physiological consequences of mammalianTORC1 dysregulation suggest that inhibitors of mammalian TOR may be useful in the treatment of cancer, cardiovascular disease, autoimmunity, and metabolic disorders.

Inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3 by insulin mediated by protein kinase B.

TL;DR: It is shown that agents which prevent the activation of both MAPKAP kinase-1 and p70S6k by insulin in vivo do not block the phosphorylation and inhibition of GSK3, and it is demonstrated that PKB is the product of the proto-oncogene protein kinase B (PKB, also known as Akt/RAC).
