p53 and E2f: partners in life and death
Abstract
During tumour development cells sustain mutations that disrupt normal mechanisms controlling proliferation. Remarkably, the Rb-E2f and MDM2-p53 pathways are both defective in most, if not all, human tumours, which underscores the crucial role of these pathways in regulating cell cycle progression and viability. A simple interpretation of the observation that both pathways are deregulated is that they function independently in the control of cell fate. However, a large body of evidence indicates that, in addition to their independent effects on cell fate, there is extensive crosstalk between these two pathways, and specifically between the transcription factors E2F1 and p53, which influences vital cellular decisions. This Review discusses the molecular mechanisms that underlie the intricate interactions between E2f and p53.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
