Abstract

Although important for apoptosis, the mechanism of Bax regulation is poorly understood. This study demonstrates that phosphorylation of Ser(184) regulates Bax activity. The phosphorylation required phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt activation and appeared to be mediated by Akt itself. In the serine-phosphorylated form, Bax was detected in the cytoplasm, could not be immunoprecipitated with the activation-specific antibody 6A7, and promoted heterodimerization with Mcl-1, Bcl-x(L), and A1. Apoptotic neutrophils possessed reduced levels of serine-phosphorylated Bax correlating with an increase in activated Bax as well as an increase in the amount of Bax found translocated to the mitochondria. We suggest that Bax is regulated by phosphorylation of Ser(184) in an Akt-dependent manner and that phosphorylation inhibits Bax effects on the mitochondria by maintaining the protein in the cytoplasm, heterodimerized with antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family members.

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.
