DescriptionAnti-E2F-6 Antibody, clone TFE61
Alternate Names
  • E2F transcription factor 6
  • E2F transcription factor 6, isoform 1
Background InformationThe E2F family of transcription factors includes the E2Fs and DP1. These proteins are critical regulators of genes required for cell cycle progression, and their activity is regulated by association with different protein partners during stages of the cell cycle. E2Fs bind the hypophosphorylated form of pRb, and are maintained in an inactive state. Phosphorylation of Rb causes dissociation, and activation of E2F activity.

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryThis gene encodes a member of the E2F transcription factor protein family. E2F family members play a crucial role in control of the cell cycle and of the action of tumor suppressor proteins. They are also a target of the transforming proteins of small DNA tumor viruses. Many E2F proteins contain several evolutionarily conserved domains: a DNA binding domain, a dimerization domain which determines interaction with the differentiation regulated transcription factor proteins (DP), a transactivation domain enriched in acidic amino acids, and a tumor suppressor protein association domain which is embedded within the transactivation domain. The encoded protein of this gene is atypical because it lacks the transactivation and tumor suppressor protein association domains. It contains a modular suppression domain and is an inhibitor of E2F-dependent transcription. The protein is part of a multimeric protein complex that contains a histone methyltransferase and the transcription factors Mga and Max. Multiple transcript variants have been reported for this gene, but it has not been clearly demonstrated that they encode valid isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: Inhibitor of E2F-dependent transcription. Binds DNA cooperatively with DP proteins through the E2 recognition site, 5'-TTTC[CG]CGC-3'. Has a preference for the 5'-TTTCCCGC-3' E2F recognition site. E2F-6 lacks the transcriptional activation and pocket protein binding domains. Appears to regulate a subset of E2F-dependent genes whose products are required for entry into the cell cycle but not for normal cell cycle progression. May silence expression via the recruitment of a chromatin remodeling complex containing histone H3-K9 methyltransferase activity. Overexpression delays the exit of cells from the S-phase.
SUBUNIT STRUCTURE: Component of the DRTF1/E2F transcription factor complex. Forms heterodimers with DP family members. Part of the E2F6.com-1 complex in G0 phase composed of E2F6, MGA, MAX, TFDP1, CBX3, BAT8, EUHMTASE1, RING1, RNF2, MBLR, L3MBTL2 and YAF2.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in all tissues examined. Highest levels in placenta, skeletal muscle, heart, ovary, kidney, small intestine and spleen.
SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES: Belongs to the E2F/DP family.
