Ser14 phosphorylation of Bcl-xL mediates compensatory cardiac hypertrophy in male mice

Abstract The anti-apoptotic function of Bcl-xL in the heart during ischemia/reperfusion is diminished by K-Ras-Mst1-mediated phosphorylation of Ser14, which allows dissociation of Bcl-xL from Bax and promotes cardiomyocyte death. Here we show that Ser14 phosphorylation of Bcl-xL is also promoted by...
