Abstract
⺠Lens epithelial cells proliferate in the absence of E2F1-3 during development. ⺠Loss of E2F1-3 alters expression of genes required for lens differentiation. ⺠E2F loss causes activation of p53 signaling, DNA double-strand breaks and apoptosis. ⺠Cell cycle-dependent genes are upregulated with ablation of E2F “activators”. ⺠Deletion of E2F3 rescues hallmark phenotypic defects caused by loss of Rb.
