"Akt (PKB) directly phosphorylates multiple protein targets of relevance to apoptosis (Figure 2B), suppressing cell death clearly within the intrinsic pathway (e.g., BAD inactivation, human caspase-9 suppression) and possibly also the extrinsic pathway (e.g., FasL expression) in some types of cells."
"It has been proposed that ARF is expressed only when an E2F signaling threshold is exceeded following oncogenic activation. The main activity of ARF is its ability to bind to p53 inhibitors and to control ribosome biogenesis. Human double minute (HDM2) [mouse double minute 2 (Mdm2) in mouse] and ARF protein binding 1 (BP1)/Mule are two specific E3 ubiquitin ligases that mediate p53 degradation through ubiquitination."
