Description:
AbstractRegulation of the intracellular localisation of its actors is one of the key mechanisms underlying cell cycle control. CDC25 phosphatases are activators of Cyclin‐Dependent Kinases (CDK) that undergo nucleo‐cytoplasmic shuttling during the cell cycle and in response to checkpoint activation. Here we report that the protein kinase PKB/Akt phosphorylates CDC25B on serine 353, resulting in a nuclear export‐dependent cytoplasmic accumulation of the phosphatase. Oxidative stress activates PKB/Akt and reproduces the effect on CDC25B phosphorylation and localisation. However, inhibition of PKB/Akt activity only partially reverted the effect of oxidative stress on CDC25B localisation and mutation of serine 353 abolishes phosphorylation but only delays nuclear exclusion. These results indicate that additional mechanisms are also involved in preventing nuclear import of CDC25B. Our findings identify CDC25B as a target of PKB/Akt and provide new insight into the regulation of its localisation in response to stress‐activated signalling pathways.
