BAD is a ~23kD member of the Bcl-2 family and acts to promote apoptosis by forming heterodimers with the survival proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, thus preventing them from binding with BAX.
BAD is found on the outer mitochondrial membrane and, once phosphorylated in response to growth stimuli, it translocates to the cytoplasm.
The phosphorylation status of BAD represents a key checkpoint for death or cell survival.
BAD is phosphorylated on serine 128 by cdc2 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK).
JNK-induced phosphorylation of BAD serine 128 promotes the apoptotic role of BAD by opposing the inhibitory effect of growth factor on BAD-mediated apoptosis.
Therefore, linking stress–activated pathway to cell death machinery in neurons.
Cdc2-induced phosphorylation of BAD serine 128 has an inhibitory effect on its interaction with 14-3-3 proteins.
The latter interaction is critical for BAD phosphorylation at serine 155, a site within the BH3 domain that leads to the release of Bcl-xL and the promotion of cell survival.
