    basic FUNCTION
  • repressing transcription from the E4 promoter in the absence of E1A
  • atypical ubiquitin E3 ligase, modulating its effector functions without promoting proteolysis
  • stimulating oligo-ubiquitylation in the hinge region of TP53
  • mediating post-translational modification of TP53
  • a key modulator of BMI1 activity in primitive hematopoietic cells
  • key player in the control of mammalian embryonic and somatic cell proliferation and survival
  • multifunctional protein involved in signaling pathways that play essential roles during normal development and tumorigenesis
  • multifunctional protein with transcriptional and atypical ubiquitin E3 ligase activities
  • involved in key signaling pathways commonly deregulated during cell transformation
  • role for E4F1 in the survival of myeloid leukemic cells
  • through its connection with the BMI1 and the CDKN2A/Arf-TPp53 axis, plays a role in stem cell–dependent skin homeostasis
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell cycle

  • complexing with RASSF1A
  • INTERACTION

    small molecule metal binding,
  • Zn2+
  • protein
  • BMI1-interacting partner in hematopoietic cells (genetically interact in the hematopoietic compartment to regulate cellular proliferation)
  • interacting with FHL2 (E4F1-FHL2 association occurs in the nuclear compartment and inhibits the capacity of E4F1 to block cell proliferation)
  • regulates the proper splicing of transcripts encoding for pluripotency regulators such as POU5F1, PRDM14, E4F1 and MED24
