basic FUNCTION
| playing an essential role in the regulation of cell cycle progression |
|
regulating the expression of genes involved in cell cycle, DNA replication, DNA repair, and mitosis |
|
E2F7 and E2F8 contain two DNA-binding domains (DBDs) and act as repressors  |
|
synergistic functions of E2F7 and E2F8 are critical to suppress stress-induced skin cancer  |
|
E2F7 is a key player in DNA damage-dependent transcriptional regulation of cell-cycle genes  |
|
is an atypical E2F family member that acts as a transcriptional repressor of E2F target genes, and thereby contributes to cell cycle arrest  |
|
E2F7 and E2F8 act as tumor suppressors via transcriptional repression of genes involved in S-phase entry and progression  |
