Abstract

The c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway plays a critical role in mediating apoptosis in the developing and mature organism. The JNK signaling pathway is thought to induce apoptosis via transcription-dependent and transcription-independent mechanisms that remain to be elucidated. In this study, we report a novel mechanism by which the JNK signaling pathway directly activates a component of the cell death machinery. We have found that JNK catalyzes the phosphorylation of the BH3-only protein BAD at the distinct site of serine 128 in vitro. Activation of the JNK signaling pathway induces the BAD serine 128 phosphorylation in vivo, including in primary granule neurons of the developing rat cerebellum. The JNK-induced BAD serine 128 phosphorylation promotes the apoptotic effect of BAD in primary neurons by antagonizing the ability of growth factors to inhibit BAD-mediated apoptosis. These findings indicate that BAD is a novel substrate of JNK that links the stress-activated signaling pathway to the cell death machinery.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
