Predict the effects of the following mutations on the ability of a cell to undergo apoptosis: a. Mutation in Bad such that it cannot be phosphorylated by protein kinase $\mathrm{B}(\mathrm{PKB})$ b. Overexpression of Bcl-2 c. Mutation in Bax such that it cannot form homodimers One common characteristic of cancer cells is a loss of function in the apoptotic pathway. Which of the mutations listed above might you expect to find in some cancer cells?
