E2F Inactive complex Rb PO,- Phosphorylation of Rb by cyclin- dependent protein kinases causes it to dissociate from E2F. E2F transcription factor Active Target gene transcription occurs when E2F binds to DNA. Target gene Cancer-causing mutations that eliminate Rb function allow E2F to stay in this active state. FIGURE 25.14 Interactions between the Rb and E2F proteins. The binding of the Rb protein to the transcription factor E2F inhibits the ability of E2F to function. This prevents cell division. For cell division to occur, cyclins bind to cyclin-dependent protein kinases, which then phosphorylate the Rb protein. The phosphorylated Rb protein is released from E2F. The free form of E2F can activate target genes needed to progress through the cell cycle.
