Translation control: connecting mitogens and the ribosome

Curr Biol. 1998 Mar 26;8(7):R248-50. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(98)70152-6.

Abstract

The identification of 3-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 (PDK1) as one of the elusive 70 kDa S6 kinase kinases has filled a gap in the signaling pathway by which extracellular receptors regulate translation. Will it cause us to reconsider the relationships between previously identified members of the pathway?
