How does PTEN affect the balance between proapoptotic and antiapoptotic signals?

a) PTEN cuts a phosphate group off of PKB, which throws the balance in an antiapoptotic direction. b) PTEN removes the phosphate group from the 3-position of PIP3, converting it to PI(4,5)P2, which cannot activate PKB (AKT) and thus throws the balance in an antiapoptotic direction. c) PTEN removes the phosphate group from the 3-position of PIP3, converting it to PI(4,5)P2, which cannot activate PKB (AKT) and thus throws the balance in a proapoptotic direction. d) PTEN cuts a phosphate group off of PKB, which throws the balance in a proapoptotic direction.
