A New Role for E2F-1 in Checkpoint Control (2003)
Journal Article
Stevens, C., & Thangue, N. B. L. (2003). A New Role for E2F-1 in Checkpoint Control. Cell Cycle, 2(5), 434-436. https://doi.org/10.4161/cc.2.5.462

In response to DNA damage, E2F-1 is induced and phosphorylated. Phosphorylated E2F-1 can reside in discrete nuclear structures and induce apoptosis, suggesting a unique role for E2F-1 in DNA repair and checkpoint functions.

Chk2 activates E2F-1 in response to DNA damage (2003)
Journal Article
Stevens, C., Smith, L., & La Thangue, N. B. (2003). Chk2 activates E2F-1 in response to DNA damage. Nature Cell Biology, 5(5), 401-409. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncb974

The E2F-1 transcription factor is regulated during cell cycle progression and induced by cellular stress, such as DNA damage. We report that checkpoint kinase 2 (Chk2) regulates E2F-1 activity in response to the DNA-damaging agent etoposide. A Chk2 c... Read More about Chk2 activates E2F-1 in response to DNA damage.

E2F and cell cycle control: a double-edged sword (2003)
Journal Article
Stevens, C., & La Thangue, N. B. (2003). E2F and cell cycle control: a double-edged sword. Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 412(2), 157-169. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0003-9861%2803%2900054-7

The E2F family of transcription factors plays a central role in regulating cellular proliferation by controlling the expression of both the genes required for cell cycle progression, particularly DNA synthesis, and the genes involved with apoptosis....
