Role of TFDP3 in mid-to-late G1 phase. After pocket proteins (RB, p107 and p130) are phosphorylated by cyclins (CCNs) and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) in early G1 phase, the E2F-TFDP complexes separate from pocket proteins in mid- to late-G1 phase. Meanwhile, repressive E2F4 and E2F5 are shuttled to the cytoplasm, and the activator protein E2F1-3 levels peak at this phase. When TFDP3 is present, the DNA-binding and transcriptional activities of E2F1-3 are inhibited. Consequently, the cell cycle-related protein is down produced and cell cycle can be arrested in G1 to some extent.
