#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

In the absence of trophic factors, nonphosphorylated

Bad binds to Bcl-2, releasing Bax and Bak and allowing them to form oligomeric membrane pores and holes.

DNA damage or UV irradiation leads to induction of synthesis of the BH3-only Puma protein which binds to Bak and Bax as well as to Bcl-2, allowing Bak and

Bax to form oligomeric pores.
