Transcription factor E2F6 (E2F6)

Binds DNA cooperatively with DP proteins through the E2 recognition site, 5'-TTTC[CG]CGC-3'. Has a taste for the 5'-TTTCCCGC-3' E2F recognition website.

E2F6 lacks the transcriptional activation and pocket protein binding domains. Appears to control a subset of E2F-dependent genes whose products are necessary for entry into the cell cycle but not for normal cell cycle progression.
