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
