Spatial organization of PI3K-PI(3,4,5)P3-AKT signaling by focal adhesions

The class I phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT signaling pathway is a key regulator of cell survival, growth, and proliferation and is among the most frequently mutated pathways in cancer. However, where and how PI3K-AKT signaling is spatially activated and organized in mammalian cells remains poorly understood. Here, we identify focal adhesions (FAs) as subcellular signaling hubs organizing the activation of PI3K-PI(3,4,5)P
