SummaryPIK3CA and PTEN alterations are common in human cancer, but only a fraction of such tumors are dependent upon AKT signaling. AKT independence is associated with redundant activation of cap-dependent translation mediated by convergent regulation of the translational repressor 4E-BP1 by the AKT and ERK pathways. This provides mechanistic bases for the limited activity of AKT and MEK inhibitors in tumors with comutation of both pathways and the profound synergy observed with combined inhibition. Whereas such tumors are sensitive to a dominant active 4E-BP1 mutant, knockdown of 4E-BP1 expression reduces their dependence on AKT/ERK signaling for translation or survival. Thus, 4E-BP1 plays a prominent role in mediating the effects of these pathways in tumors in which they are activated by mutation.
► Tumors with oncogenes activating both AKT and ERK are dependent on neither alone
► AKT and ERK signaling converge on common targets that integrate their function
► 4E-BP1 integrates the output of the two pathways at the level of translation
► Combined inhibition of both pathways effectively inhibits 4E-BP1 and tumor growth
