Background: Can stimulate E2F-dependent transcription. Binds DNA cooperatively with E2F family members 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 DP2/E2F complex functions in the control of cell-cycle progression from G1 to S phase. The E2F-1/DP complex appears to mediate both cell proliferation and apoptosis. DP family contains at least two members, DP1 and 2. Structurally, DP1 and 2 are relatively conserved, yet their expression appears to be tissue specific. E2F 1, a functional target for the tumor suppressor protein Rb, heterodimerizes with DP1 and forms an active E2F transcriptional complex. The interaction between members of the E2F and the DP families is mediated, in part, by a leucine repeat which is weakly conserved between the two families.
