General annotation (Comments)

Function

Acts downstream of age-1 and pdk-1 in the daf-2/insulin receptor-like transduction pathway. Essential role in regulating developmental arrest at the dauer stage. Phosphorylates Forkhead-related daf-16 and the longevity-promoting skn-1 transcription factors, which inhibits their entry into the nucleus and antagonizes their functions. Role in immune function and pathogen resistance. Ref.1 Ref.3 Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.8

Catalytic activity

ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.

Cofactor

Magnesium.

Enzyme regulation

Phosphorylated and activated by pdk-1. Ref.6

Subunit structure

Interacts with pdk-1, sgk-1, akt-2 and daf-16. Part of a complex containing sgk-1, akt-1 and akt-2. Ref.6

Tissue specificity

Expressed in neurons, muscle cells of the pharynx, rectal gland cells, and spermatheca. Ref.1

Developmental stage

Expressed in late stage embryos and throughout life. Ref.1

Disruption phenotype

Increased resistance to pathogens. Simultaneous knockdown of akt-1 and akt-2 result in dauer formation and a weak extension to life span. Ref.6 Ref.7

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. RAC subfamily.

Contains 1 AGC-kinase C-terminal domain.

Contains 1 PH domain.

Contains 1 protein kinase domain.

Alternative products

This entry describes 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform a (identifier: Q17941-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Isoform b (identifier: Q17941-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     262-287: EQHYLCFVMQFANGGELFTHVRKCGT → TNDRLCFVMEFAIGGDLYYHLNREVQMNKEG
     298-298: A → S
     309-317: RCDIVYRDM → ANSIVYRDL
Isoform c (identifier: Q17941-3)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     255-541: Missing.
Note: No experimental confirmation available.
