摘要: The PIK3CA gene, encoding the p110α catalytic subunit of Class IA PI3Ks (phosphoinositide 3-kinases), is frequently mutated in many human tumours. three most common tumour-derived alleles p110α, H1047R, E542K and E545K, were shown to potently activate PI3K signalling epithelial cells. In present study, we examine biochemical activity recombinantly purified oncogenic mutants. kinetic characterizations wt (wild-type) ‘hot spot’ mutants show that all have approx. 2-fold increase lipid kinase activities. Interestingly, phosphorylated IRS-1 (insulin receptor substrate-1) protein shows activation for H1047R but not E545K PI3Kα, suggesting these mutations represent different mechanisms hence transforming cancer
