Abstract excerpt
Cyclin E is a key cell cycle regulator, whose accumulation is believed to be positively modulated chiefly at the transcriptional level. We show that forced expression of E2F family members specifically stabilizes cyclin E protein by reducing its conjugation with ubiquitin, leading to increased steady-state levels. The stabilized protein shows enhanced association with cdk2 and higher kinase activity, indicating...
