There Are Several Categories of Type I Hypersensitivity Reactions

1. Systemic Anaphylaxis

2. Localized Hypersensitivity Reactions

PKB contains:

A PH domain

A kinase domain

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

PH domain of PKB binds with high affinity to the 

3-phosphates in both PI(3,4)P2 and PI(3,4,5)P3

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

In unstimulated cells, 

concentration of phosphoinositides is low, and PKB is

inactive because its PH domain physically blocks the kinase active site

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

Ligand-induced receptor activation,

Concentration of PI 3-phosphates rises

PH domain of PKB binds to PI 3-phosphates

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

Maximal activation of PKB depends on recruitment to the cytosolic surface of the plasma membrane of two other kinases -PDK1 and PDK2.

PDK1 can phosphorylate PKB on a critical threonine residue in its activation loop
