title: E2F3-a novel repressor of the ARF/p53 pathway.
abstract: The Arf tumor suppressor is a key component of the p53 tumor surveillance pathway, and its expression is activated by abnormal proliferation signals. In a recent paper, Lees and coworkers investigate the regulation of Arf expression by E2Fs and demonstrate that in normal cells E2F3 is a pivotal repressor of Arf.
