Abstract excerpt
The retinoblastoma protein (pRB) is best known for regulating cell proliferation through E2F transcription factors. In this report, we investigate the properties of a targeted mutation that disrupts pRB interactions with the transactivation domain of E2Fs. Mice that carry this mutation endogenously (Rb1(ΔG)) are defective for pRB-dependent repression of E2F target genes. Except for an accelerated entry into S...
