Bcl-2 blocks grB-mediated Bax insertion and cytochrome c release but not Bid processing and translocation. (A) Vector-only transfected controls (neo) and Bcl-2–overexpressing Jurkats were treated with grB and Ad for the times indicated. After incubation, cells were fractionated and the proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE on 15% gels and transferred to nitrocellulose. Cytosols were probed with a monoclonal anti–cytochrome c antibody. (B) The mitochondrial fraction from A was probed for Bid using a polyclonal anti-Bid antiserum. (C) Jurkat and Bcl-2–overexpressing Jurkat cells were treated with grB and Ad as indicated followed by subfractionation as described in Materials and Methods. The mitochondria were subjected to alkaline extraction followed by SDS-PAGE on 15% gels and transferred to nitrocellulose. Blots were probed with polyclonal anti-Bax antibodies. (D) Mitochondrial fractions from C were overexposed, scanned, and then analyzed with Image Gauge software to determine relative band intensities.
