E2F transcription factor 1

Alias

E2F-1 | RBAP1 | RBBP3 | RBP3

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the E2F family of transcription factors. The E2F family plays a crucial role in the control of cell cycle and action of tumor suppressor proteins and is also a target of the transforming proteins of small DNA tumor viruses. The E2F proteins contain several evolutionally conserved domains found in most members of the family. These domains include a DNA binding domain, a dimerization domain which determines interaction with the differentiation regulated transcription factor proteins (DP), a transactivation domain enriched in acidic amino acids, and a tumor suppressor protein association domain which is embedded within the transactivation domain. This protein and another 2 members, E2F2 and E2F3, have an additional cyclin binding domain. This protein binds preferentially to retinoblastoma protein pRB in a cell-cycle dependent manner. It can mediate both cell proliferation and p53-dependent/independent apoptosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

Recapitulate disease phenotypes

Endogenous knock-in cell lines enable a clear understanding of a gene or mutation’s contribution to a phenotype including conditional knockouts to model human disease

Confirm your results

We provide truly isogenic cell line pairs. Each cell model comes with the parental cell line as an additional control

Knockout and knock-in models

Our knock in models have more complex genetic modifications such as:

  • insertions
  • base pair changes
  • deletions
  • truncations
  • FLAG-tagged proteins for purification
