Abstract
The induction and maintenance of oncogenic transformation requires interference with the controls that regulate translation and transcription. The PI 3-kinase pathway, which shows gain of function in numerous and diverse human cancers, generates signals that have a positive effect on the initiation of protein synthesis. Here we review the components of the PI 3-kinase signaling pathway and the mRNA-binding protein YB-1, exploring their roles in protein synthesis and oncogenic cell transformation.Keywords
