(A) Healthy cell: Rb binds and inactivates transcription factor E2F, preventing E2F from binding with its promotor, thus suppressing proliferation. (B) Cancer cell: E7 peptide directly binds to Rb, preventing its interaction with E2F. This allows for E2F to bind its promotor, resulting in the dysregulation of cell proliferation.8
