NCBI Protein Information
E2F transcription factor 1
NCBI Summary
Member of the E2F transcription factors, (cell cycle genes), key components of the cyclin D/retinoblastoma/E2F pathway. Binds DPA and RBR1 proteins. Expressed throughout the cell cycle. Abundance increased by auxin through stabilization of the protein. Elevates CDK levels and activity, even under hormone-free conditions. Promotes cell division and shortens cell doubling time, inhibits cell growth. Transgenic plants overexpressing AtE2Fa contained an increased level of AtE2Fb transcripts that is paralleled by an increase in the amount of the AtE2Fb protein, suggesting that AtE2Fb expression might actually be up-regulated by the AtE2Fa transcription factor.

UniProt Comments
Transcription activator that binds DNA cooperatively with DP proteins through the E2 recognition site, 5'-TTTC[CG]CGC-3' found in the promoter region of a number of genes whose products are involved in cell cycle regulation or in DNA replication. The binding of retinoblastoma-related proteins represses transactivation. Involved in the control of cell-cycle progression from G1 to S phase and from G2 to M phase. Stimulates cell proliferation and delays differentiation. Represses cell enlargement and endoreduplication in auxin-free conditions.
