A phosphatase activity sensitive to okadaic acid was detected in Bcl-xL, Bcl-w and Bad immunoprecipitates. Serine phosphorylation of Bcl-xL and Bcl-w correlates with the number of trimolecular complexes formed. Depletion of Bcl-xL and Bcl-w decreases the remaining Bad-associated phosphatase activity and association of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1)α to Bad. Bcl-xL and Bcl-w contain the R/K X V/I X F consensus motif shared by PP1 targeting subunits. This motif, in addition to F X X R X R motif, is involved in binding of Bcl-xL and Bcl-w to PP1α. Disruption of Bcl-xL/PP1α or Bcl-w/PP1α association strongly decreases Bad-associated phosphataseactivity and stability of trimolecular complexes. These results suggest that Bcl-xL and Bcl-w are PP1α targeting subunits and this trimolecular complex may be involved in the control of apoptosis.}, organization = {UAM, Madrid, Spain}, organization = {Laboratoire d'Immunologie Cellulaire et Tissulaire}, organization = {INSERM U543}, organization = {Bâtiment CERVI}, organization = {Hôpital Pitié Salpêtrière, Paris}, publisher = {Wiley}, title = {The anti-apoptotic molecules Bcl-xL and Bcl-w target protein phosphatase 1α to Bad}, doi = {10.1002/1521-4141(200207)32:7<1847::AID-IMMU1847>3.0.CO;2-7}, author = {Ayllón, Verónica and Cayla, Xavier and García, Alphonse and Fleischer, Aarne and Rebollo, Angelita}, }
