ABSTRACT

E2F-1, the first gene product identified among a family of E2F transcription factors, is thought to play a critical role in G1/S progression of the cell cycle. Transcriptional activities of E2F are modulated during the cell cycle, mainly by the formation of complexes between E2F and several key regulators of cell cycle such as the retinoblastoma protein and related proteins. To further understand the roles of E2F in the cell cycle progression, we have overexpressed exogenous E2F-1 by using a tetracycline-controlled expression system. We have found that the induced expression of E2F-1 in Rat-2 fibroblasts promotes S-phase entry and subsequently leads to apoptosis. The apoptosis occurs in an E2F-1 dose-dependent manner. Cells resistant to the induction of apoptosis have lost the ability to express exogenous E2F-1. Cells growing in low serum are more sensitive to the E2F-1-mediated cell death. Overexpression of E2F-1 mutants that impair DNA binding or transactivation does not alter cell cycle progression or induce apoptosis. These results define a novel pathway to apoptosis and demonstrate that premature S-phase entry is associated with apoptotic cell death.
