The pocket protein family consists of three structurally and functionally related proteins, Rb, p107, and p130 (1). This family of tumor suppressors function to regulate important cellular transcription factors, such as the E2F family (1,2). The E2F proteins regulate the expression of genes whose products are important for cell cycle progression. The inactivation Rb is catalyzed by CDK phosphorylation thereby releasing E2F during the G1-S phase cellular progression (3). Unchecked inactivation of Rb in G1 phase has been indicated as a universal mechanism underlying cellular transformation (4,5). While Rb has been the most studied among the pocket proteins, p107 and p130 have also been shown to be key regulators of E2F (6). Several studies have also provided evidence that p107/p130 provide different functions in E2F regulation than does Rb (6,7). Rb, p107, and p130 each contain a conserved 'A/B pocket', which is the target of several viral oncoproteins, namely SV40 large T-antigen and adenovirus E1A (8).

NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene is similar in sequence and possibly function to the product of the retinoblastoma 1 (RB1) gene. The RB1 gene product is a tumor suppressor protein that appears to be involved in cell cycle regulation, as it is phosphorylated in the S to M phase transition and is dephosphorylated in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Both the RB1 protein and the product of this gene can form a complex with adenovirus E1A protein and SV40 large T-antigen, with the SV40 large T-antigen binding only to the unphosphorylated form of each protein. In addition, both proteins can inhibit the transcription of cell cycle genes containing E2F binding sites in their promoters. Due to the sequence and biochemical similarities with the RB1 protein, it is thought that the protein encoded by this gene may also be a tumor suppressor. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uniprot Description

Rb-like 1: 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. Forms a complex with adenovirus E1A and with SV40 large T antigen. May bind and modulate functionally certain cellular proteins with which T and E1A compete for pocket binding. May act as a tumor suppressor. Belongs to the retinoblastoma protein (RB) family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
