Abstract excerpt
Activation of heterodimeric E2F-DP transcription factors can drive the G1-S transition. Mutation of the Drosophila melanogaster dE2F gene eliminates transcriptional activation of several replication factors at the G1-S transition and compromises DNA replication. Here we describe a mutation in the Drosophila dDP gene. As expected for a defect in the dE2F partner, this mutation blocks G1-S transcription of DmRNR2...
