developmental stage:Present in the growth-arrested state , its abundance does not change significantly as cells move into and through the cell cycle. ,Function:Transcription activator that binds DNA cooperatively with DP proteins through the E2 recognition site , 5'-TTTC[CG]CGC-3' found in the promoter region of a number of genes whose products are involved in cell cycle regulation or in DNA replication. The DRTF1/E2F complex functions in the control of cell-cycle progression from G1 to S phase. E2F-4 binds with high affinity to RBL1 and RBL2. In some instances , can also bind RB protein. ,polymorphism:The poly-Ser region of E2F4 is polymorphic and the number of Ser varies in the population (from 8 to 17) . The variation might be associated with tumorigenesis. ,PTM:Differentially phosphorylated in vivo. ,similarity:Belongs to the E2F/DP family. ,subunit:Component of the DRTF1/E2F transcription factor complex. Binds cooperatively with DP-1 to E2F sites. The E2F4/DP-1 dimer interacts preferentially with pocket protein RBL1 , which inhibits the E2F transactivation domain. Lower affinity interaction has been found with retinoblastoma protein RB1. Interacts with TRRAP , which probably mediates its interaction with histone acetyltransferase complexes , leading to transcription activation. Interacts with HCFC1. Component of the DREAM complex (also named LINC complex) at least composed of E2F4 , E2F5 , LIN9 , LIN37 , LIN52 , LIN54 , MYBL1 , MYBL2 , RBL1 , RBL2 , RBBP4 , TFDP1 and TFDP2. The complex exists in quiescent cells where it represses cell cycle-dependent genes. It dissociates in S phase when LIN9 , LIN37 , LIN52 and LIN54 form a subcomplex that binds to MYBL2. ,tissue specificity:Found in all tissue examined including heart , brain , placenta , lung , liver , skeletal muscle , kidney and pancreas. ,
