Figure 2. Oncogenic kinase signaling regulates MCL-1, BIM, and PUMA.
Oncogenic kinases regulate BIM, PUMA, and MCL-1 by changing gene expression, protein stability, and protein functions by activating two major pro-survival pathways: the AKT and ERK (Extracellular signal-regulated kinases) pathways. Pro-survival and pro-apoptotic pathways are denoted in blue and red, respectively.
