The Bcl-2 family protein BAD promotes apoptosis by binding through its BH3 domain to Bcl-x(L) and related cell death suppressors. When BAD is phosphorylated on either Ser(112) or Ser(136), it forms a complex with 14-3-3 in the cytosol and no longer interacts with Bcl-x(L) at the mitochondria. Here we show that phosphorylation of a distinct site Ser(155), which is at the center of the BAD BH3 domain, directly suppressed the pro-apoptotic function of BAD by eliminating its affinity for Bcl-x(L). Protein kinase A functioned as a BAD Ser(155) kinase both in vitro and in cells. BAD Ser(155) was found to be a major site of phosphorylation induced following stimulation by growth factors and prevented by protein kinase A inhibitors but not by inhibitors of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt pathway. Growth factors inhibited BAD-induced apoptosis in both a Ser(112)/Ser(136)- and a Ser(155)-dependent fashion. Thus, growth factors engage an anti-apoptotic signaling pathway that inactivates BAD by direct modification of its BH3 cell death effector domain.
