Abstract excerpt
The retinoblastoma gene, RB-1, was the first identified tumor suppressor. Rb(-/-) mice die in mid-gestation with defects in proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. The activating E2F transcription factors, E2F1-3, contribute to these embryonic defects, indicating that they are key downstream targets of the retinoblastoma protein, pRB. E2F4 is the major pRB-associated E2F in vivo, yet its role in Rb(-/-)...
