Table of Contents:
  • Contents: The E2F transcription factors control cell cycle entry
  • The pRB/E2F pathway
  • pRB and E2F are both families of proteins
  • Differential roles of the pocket proteins
  • Repression and activation of E2F target genes is regulated by distinct E2F complexes
  • Rb mutant mice
  • Inhibition of the activating E2Fs is key to pRB's tumor suppressive activity
  • The activating E2Fs can also induce apoptosis and senescence genes in tumor cells
  • Role of pRB-E2F in DNA damage response
  • pRB contributes to the activation of pro-apoptotic genes in response to DNA damage.
