E2F3 Is a Mediator of DNA Damage-Induced Apoptosis

Abstract excerpt

The E2F transcription factors have emerged as critical apoptotic effectors. Herein we report that the E2F family member E2F3a can be induced by DNA damage through transcriptional and posttranslational mechanisms. We demonstrate that the posttranslational induction of human E2F3a is dependent on the checkpoint kinases. Moreover, we show that human E2F3a is a substrate for the checkpoint kinases (chk kinases) and...
