Sibling rivalry in the E2F family

Trimarchi, Jeffrey M., Lees, Jacqueline A.·2002·Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology

Abstract

The E2F transcription factor family determines whether or not a cell will divide by controlling the expression of key cell-cycle regulators. The individual E2Fs can be divided into distinct subgroups that act in direct opposition to one another to promote either cellular proliferation or cell-cycle exit and terminal differentiation. What is the underlying molecular basis of this 'push-me-pull-you' regulation, and what are its biological consequences?

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Many genes repressed in senescent cells are activation targets of E2F transcription factors, some of which are converted to transcriptional repressors when complexed with pRB.

    “Many of these repressed genes are activation targets of E2F transcription factors (Narita et al., 2003), some of which are converted to transcriptional repressors when complexed with pRB (Trimarchi and Lees, 2002).”

  • CDK4/6 phosphorylates RB to prime it for inactivation by other CDKs later in G1, releasing E2F transcription factors to induce S-phase genes.

    “Together, these results implied that the role of CDK4/6 was to phosphorylate RB, priming it for inactivation by other CDKs later in G1, and releasing E2F transcription factors from RB constraint to allow their coordinate induction of a suite of genes whose activities are jointly required for initiation of S phase [reviewed in detail in (16) (29-31)].”

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.
