== Structure ==
 
The E2F proteins contain several evolutionally conserved domains found in most members of the family. These domains include a [[DNA binding domain]], a [[protein dimer|dimerization]] domain which determines interaction with the differentiation regulated transcription factor proteins (DP), a [[transactivation]] domain enriched in acidic amino acids ([[aspartic acid|Asp]] + [[glutamic acid|Glu]]), and a tumor suppressor protein association domain which is embedded within the transactivation domain.
 
==Interactions==
E2F4 has been shown to [[Protein-protein interaction|interact]] with [[Smad3]].<ref name="pmid12150994">{{cite journal | vauthors = Chen CR, Kang Y, Siegel PM, Massagué J | title = E2F4/5 and p107 as Smad cofactors linking the TGFbeta receptor to c-myc repression | journal = Cell | volume = 110 | issue = 1 | pages = 19–32 |date=July 2002 | pmid = 12150994 | doi = 10.1016/S0092-8674(02)00801-2 }}</ref>

=== Colorectal cancers ===
 
"The AGC triplet repeat in the coding region of the E2F-4 gene, a member of the family, has been reported to be mutated in colorectal cancers with a microsatellite instability (MSI) phenotype. We found a wider range variation of the repeat number in DNAs from tumors, the corresponding normal mucosa, and healthy individuals. A total of 5 repeat variants, ranging from 8 to 17 AGC repeats, was detected in 6 (9.7%) of the 62 healthy individuals and 8 (8.9%) of the 90 normal DNAs of the patients. The wild-type 13 repeat was present in all of these individuals. The variation of the AGC repeat number may be a polymorphism. Further, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the E2F-4 locus in the tumor tissues of 2 (25%) of the 8 informative cases was detected."<ref name=Zhong>{{ cite journal

Transcription factor E2F4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the E2F4 gene.[1][2]

Function

Gene ID: 1874 E2F transcription factor 4, "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 binds to all three of the tumor suppressor proteins pRB, p107 and p130, but with higher affinity to the last two. It plays an important role in the suppression of proliferation-associated genes, and its gene mutation and increased expression may be associated with human cancer."[3]

Structure

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 (Asp + Glu), and a tumor suppressor protein association domain which is embedded within the transactivation domain.

Interactions

E2F4 has been shown to interact with Smad3.[4]

Clinical significance

Colorectal cancers

"The AGC triplet repeat in the coding region of the E2F-4 gene, a member of the family, has been reported to be mutated in colorectal cancers with a microsatellite instability (MSI) phenotype. We found a wider range variation of the repeat number in DNAs from tumors, the corresponding normal mucosa, and healthy individuals. A total of 5 repeat variants, ranging from 8 to 17 AGC repeats, was detected in 6 (9.7%) of the 62 healthy individuals and 8 (8.9%) of the 90 normal DNAs of the patients. The wild-type 13 repeat was present in all of these individuals. The variation of the AGC repeat number may be a polymorphism. Further, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the E2F-4 locus in the tumor tissues of 2 (25%) of the 8 informative cases was detected."[5]
