Abstract excerpt
The BH3-only protein BAD binds to Bcl-2 family proteins through its BH3 domain. Recent studies suggest that BAD binds to both Bcl-2 and Bcl-X(L), however mediates its pro-apoptotic functions through inhibition of Bcl-X(L), but not Bcl-2. In this paper we addressed this issue using a BAD mutant within the BH3 domain, by substitution of Asp 119 with Gly (BAD(D119G)), which selectively abrogates an ability to...
