摘要
E2F transcription factors coordinate the timely expression of genes during early cell-cycle progression. In addition, the E2F-1 subunit can induce apoptosis in response to DNA damage. New results reveal an unexpected function for E2F-1 in suppressing apoptosis, which may be important in explaining the contribution of E2F-1 to tumorigenesis.
