Protein metabolism in eukaryotic organisms is
defined by a synthesis-degradation equilibrium that is subject to
regulation by hormonal and nutritional signals. In mammalian tissues
such as skeletal muscle, glucocorticoid hormones specify a catabolic response that influences both protein synthetic and protein degradative pathways. With regard to the former, glucocorticoids attenuate mRNA
translation at two levels: translational efficiency, i.e. translation initiation, and translational capacity, i.e.
ribosome biogenesis. Glucocorticoids may impair translational capacity through the ribosomal S6 protein kinase (p70 S6K), a recognized glucocorticoid target and an effector of ribosomal protein
synthesis. We demonstrate here that the reduction in growth
factor-activated p70 S6K activity by glucocorticoids depends upon a
functional glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and that the GR is both
necessary and sufficient to render p70 S6K subject to glucocorticoid
regulation. Furthermore, the DNA binding and transcriptional activation
but not repression properties of the GR are indispensable for p70 S6K
regulation. Finally, a mutational analysis of the p70 S6K carboxyl
terminus indicates that this region confers glucocorticoid sensitivity,
and thus glucocorticoids may facilitate autoinhibition of the enzyme
ultimately reducing the efficiency with which T389 is phosphorylated.
