Target Information
Gene Function
Key regulator of entry into cell division. Directly involved in heterochromatin formation by maintaining overall chromatin structure and, in particular, that of constitutive heterochromatin by stabilizing histone methylation. Recruits and targets histone methyltransferases SUV420H1 and SUV420H2, leading to epigenetic transcriptional repression. Controls histone H4 'Lys-20' trimethylation. Probably acts as a transcription repressor by recruiting chromatin-modifying enzymes to promoters. Potent inhibitor of E2F-mediated trans-activation, associates preferentially with E2F5. Binds to cyclins A and E. Binds to and may be involved in the transforming capacity of the adenovirus E1A protein. May act as a tumor suppressor.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the retinoblastoma protein (RB) family.
Post-translational Modifications
During G0 and early G1 phase of the cell cycle, phosphorylated on Ser-639 and on 5 sites within the domain B. Phosphorylation on Ser-672 in G1 leads to its ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis.
