Summary: Enables RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including gonad development; negative regulation of Ras protein signal transduction; and negative regulation of vulval development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including anal region; digestive tract; germ line; head; and midbody. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mismatch repair cancer syndrome. Orthologous to human TFDP3 (transcription factor Dp family member 3); TFDP1 (transcription factor Dp-1); and TFDP2 (transcription factor Dp-2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

DPL-1 transcriptional activity inhibits CDK-2 mRNA accumulation in C. elegans germline stem cells, which leads to slower S-phase entry and progression.
Title: GSK-3 promotes S-phase entry and progression in C. elegans germline stem cells to maintain tissue output.
DPL-1 acts with EFL-1 in developing oocytes to directly regulate a transcriptional program that couples the critical events of ovulation and fertilization.
Title: DPL-1 (DP) acts in the germ line to coordinate ovulation and fertilization in C. elegans.
DPL-1 and EFL-1, but not LIN-35, promote the expression of a negative regulator of MPK-1, the MAP kinase phosphatase LIP-1.
Title: The candidate MAP kinase phosphorylation substrate DPL-1 (DP) promotes expression of the MAP kinase phosphatase LIP-1 in C. elegans germ cells.
identified mutations in two genes not previously known to affect cell death, dpl-1 and mcd-1 (modifier of cell 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.
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).
