Zusammenfassung: <jats:p> Much evidence strongly suggests a positive role for one or more E2F species in the control of exit from G <jats:sub>0</jats:sub> /G <jats:sub>1</jats:sub> . Results described here provide direct evidence that endogenous E2F-1, as predicted, contributes to progression from G <jats:sub>0</jats:sub> to S. By contrast, cycling cells lacking an intact E2F-1 gene demonstrated normal cell cycle distribution. Therefore, E2F-1 exerts a unique function leading to timely G <jats:sub>0</jats:sub> exit of resting cultured primary cells, while at the same time being unnecessary for normal G <jats:sub>1</jats:sub> to S phase progression of cycling cells. </jats:p>
