摘要：E2F-1 is a transcription factor suspected of activating genes required for S phase and a known target for the action of RB, the retinoblastoma gene product. Its induction in quiescent fibroblasts led to S-phase entry followed by apoptosis. E2F-1-mediated apoptosis was suppressed by coexpression of wild-type RB or a transdominant negative mutant species of p53. In contrast, coexpression of a naturally occurring loss-of-function RB mutant or wild-type p53 did not suppress the induction of apoptosis under these conditions. Thus, deregulated E2F-1 activity gives rise to proliferative and apoptotic signals. p53 appears to participate in the execution of the latter.
