Abstract excerpt
Phosphorylation of the Bad protein is a key regulatory event in the prevention of apoptosis by survival factors. Phosphorylated Bad binds to the cytosolic 14-3-3 protein and is sequestered from the apoptotic machinery of the mitochondrial membrane. To examine the role of Bad in cell growth and apoptosis in primary cultures, we produced stable Bad transfectants of chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF). As expected,...
