Official Symbol: efl-1
Official Full Name: E2F/DP family winged-helix DNA-binding domain-containing protein
Primary source: WormBase:WBGene00001161
Locus tag: CELE_Y102A5C.18
See related: AllianceGenome:WB:WBGene00001161
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans (strain: Bristol N2)
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Nematoda; Chromadorea; Rhabditida; Rhabditina; Rhabditomorpha; Rhabditoidea; Rhabditidae; Peloderinae; Caenorhabditis
Summary: Enables RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including embryonic digestive tract morphogenesis; negative regulation of Ras protein signal transduction; and negative regulation of vulval development. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in gonad. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Lynch syndrome and prostate carcinoma. Orthologous to several human genes including E2F4 (E2F transcription factor 4).

What's a GeneRIF?

E2F and HSF-1 directly regulate a gene network, including a specific subset of chaperones, to promote protein biogenesis and anabolic metabolism, which are essential in development.
Title: E2F coregulates an essential HSF developmental program that is distinct from the heat-shock response.
Efl-1 regulates organismal senescence by inhibiting daf-16.
Title: E2F transcription factor 1 regulates cellular and organismal senescence by inhibiting Forkhead box O transcription factors.
Efl-1/E2F and other SynMuv B genes negatively regulate a component of the anaphase-promoting complex or cyclosome (APC/C).
Title: Caenorhabditis elegans lin-35/Rb, efl-1/E2F and other synthetic multivulva genes negatively regulate the anaphase-promoting complex gene mat-3/APC8.
Many EFL-1/DPL-1 responsive genes encode proteins required for oogenesis and early embryogenesis, rather than cell cycle components.
Title: Promotion of oogenesis and embryogenesis in the C. elegans gonad by EFL-1/DPL-1 (E2F) does not require LIN-35 (pRB).
dpl-1 and mcd-1 act with efl-1 E2F and lin-35 Rb to promote programmed cell death and do so by regulating the killing process rather than by affecting the decision between survival and death.
Title: DPL-1 DP, LIN-35 Rb and EFL-1 E2F act with the MCD-1 zinc-finger protein to promote programmed cell death in Caenorhabditis elegans.
