Abstract

The invention provides polypeptides of transcription factor DP-3 which exists in four isoforms produced by alternative splicing of mRNA, nucleic acid encoding the polypeptides and the use of such nucleic acid and polypeptides in assays. Two isoforms of DP-3 contain a region, designated the E region, which is a nuclear localization signal and is involved in a further level of regulation of DP-3 and its ability to bind to E2F-1 and regulate the cell cycle.
