Api5 contributes to E2F1 control of the G1/S cell cycle phase transition.

<h4>Background</h4>The E2f transcription factor family has a pivotal role in controlling the cell fate in general, and in particular cancer development, by regulating the expression of several genes required for S phase entry and progression through the cell cycle. It has become clear th...
