Abstract

Class IA phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI 3-kinases) are key signaling components downstream of tyrosine kinases and Ras, regulating many different cellular functions and contributing to tumorigenesis. Class IA PI 3-kinases are heterodimers comprised of a p85 regulatory and a p110 catalytic subunit. Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) is a chromosomal instability syndrome associated with cancer predisposition, radiosensitivity, microcephaly, and growth retardation. The NBS gene product p95 (also known as NBS1) is part of the Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 complex, a central player associated with double-strand break repair. We previously demonstrated that NBS1 overexpression induces transformation through activation of PI 3-kinase/Akt. In this study, we show that NBS1 directly interacts, through a highly conserved C-terminal motif (aa 653-669) of NBS1, with the N-terminal domain (aa 1-108) of the p110alpha catalytic subunit of PI 3-kinase, and stimulates PI 3-kinase activity. Mutations of different regions of the conserved motif abolish the ability of NBS1 to activate PI 3-kinase in vitro and in vivo. Co-expression of NBS1/p110alpha/p-Akt is observed in certain percentage of head and neck cancer patient samples. These results demonstrate that NBS1 can function as an adaptor/activator of p110alpha PI 3-kinase through a novel activation motif, consistent with its possible role in cell transformation and tumorigenesis.
