Abstract
The E2F family of transcription factors plays a pivotal role in the regulation of cell proliferation in higher eukaryotes. We used DNA microarrays and cell lines containing either inducible E2F-1 or inducible E2F-3 to identify novel E2F target genes. Our data indicate that E2F up-regulates the expression of genes not previously described as E2F target genes. A number of these E2F-regulated genes are involved in DNA replication, DNA repair and mitosis. These results suggest that E2F affects cell cycle progression both at S phase and during mitosis. Furthermore, our findings indicate that E2F-dependent gene activation may contribute to the cellular response to DNA damage.Keywords
