Regulation of the Foxa and Foxo transcription factors through PI3-kinase signaling. Protein kinases of the Akt/PKB and SGK families (for review, see ref. 35) downstream of 3′ polyphosphoinositides generated by PI3-kinase mediate phosphorylation and cytoplasmic localization of Foxa2 and three Foxo isoforms. Thus, insulin, IGF-1, and other regulators of PI3-kinase attenuate transcriptional activity of these proteins. Foxa2 regulates gene expression in the context of Foxa1 and Foxa3 actions, which are not regulated by PI3-kinase. Overlapping but distinct specificities of the Foxa and Foxo proteins for promoter sequences provide a complex network of transcriptional signals that can finely modulate sets of genes (A, B, C, and D) in a metabolic or developmental pathway.
