Also known as E2F-2
Summary
E2F2 (E2F transcription factor 2, HGNC:3114) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p36.12, encoding Transcription factor E2F2 (Q14209). 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 protein encoded by this gene is a member of the E2F family of transcription factors. The E2F family plays a crucial role in the control of cell cycle and action of tumor suppressor proteins and is also a target of the transforming proteins of small DNA tumor viruses. The E2F proteins contain several evolutionally conserved domains found in most members of the family. These domains include a DNA binding domain, a dimerization domain which determines interaction with the differentiation regulated transcription factor proteins (DP), a transactivation domain enriched in acidic amino acids, and a tumor suppressor protein association domain which is embedded within the transactivation domain. This protein and another 2 members, E2F1 and E2F3, have an additional cyclin binding domain. This protein binds specifically to retinoblastoma protein pRB in a cell-cycle dependent manner, and it exhibits overall 46% amino acid identity to E2F1.

Transcription factor E2F2 — Q14209 (reviewed: Q14209)
All UniProt accessions (1): Q14209
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
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. E2F2 binds specifically to RB1 in a cell-cycle dependent manner.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the DRTF1/E2F transcription factor complex. Forms heterodimers with DP family members. The E2F2 complex binds specifically hypophosphorylated retinoblastoma protein RB1. During the cell cycle, RB1 becomes phosphorylated in mid-to-late G1 phase, detaches from the DRTF1/E2F complex, rendering E2F transcriptionally active. Viral oncoproteins, notably E1A, T-antigen and HPV E7, are capable of sequestering RB1, thus releasing the active complex. Binds EAPP.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Highest level of expression is found in placenta, low levels are found in lung. Found as well in many immortalized cell lines derived from tumor samples.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated by CDK2 and cyclin A-CDK2 in the S-phase.
Similarity. Belongs to the E2F/DP family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 23 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
