p107 (RBL1) was molecularly cloned; its cDNA maps to chromosome 20q11.2 and encodes a 936-residue protein with a major region of homology to RB spanning 564 residues. The homologous pocket region of p107 independently binds SV40 large T antigen and adenovirus E1A, establishing p107 as a structurally and functionally related RB family member. |

PP2A mediates p107 dephosphorylation as a key event in FGF-induced chondrocyte growth arrest; overexpression of cyclin D1/cdk4 prevents FGF-induced p107 dephosphorylation and growth arrest; SV40 small T antigen expression or siRNA knockdown of PP2A catalytic subunit also prevents p107 dephosphorylation and FGF-induced arrest; FGF treatment induces an association between p107 and PP2A. |

p107 and p130 associate with E2F target gene promoters by chromatin immunoprecipitation; GFP-tagged pRB shows similar nuclear dynamics to p107 and p130 by live-cell fluorescence imaging. Using anti-GFP antibody ChIP, RB association with target promoters is demonstrable, and direct RB phosphorylation disrupts promoter association, analogous to p107/p130 regulation. |

B55alpha-containing PP2A holoenzymes play a major role in restricting p107 phosphorylation and inducing p107 activation; targeted selectivity exists in the interaction of pocket proteins with distinct PP2A holoenzymes, with B55alpha specifically targeting p107 over pRB. |

MAGE-A11 interacts with p107 and inhibits p107 ubiquitination to stabilize it; MAGE-A11 links p107 to hypophosphorylated E2F1, stabilizing and activating E2F1. At low MAGE-A11, this interaction causes transcriptional repression; at higher MAGE-A11 (as in prostate cancer), p107 is converted from a transcriptional repressor to a transcriptional activator of androgen receptor and E2F1 targets. |

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of rb1 and rbl1 (p107) together (but not either alone) in Xenopus tropicalis causes rapid development of retinoblastoma, confirming that the cooperative tumor suppressor function of RB1 and RBL1 demonstrated in mice is conserved in a non-mammalian vertebrate and validating Xenopus as a retinoblastoma model. |

Following p53 activation by DNA damage, p130 and RB cooperate to repress G1/S genes, while G2/M genes are repressed specifically by p130 and p107 (not RB) through the DREAM complex (p107-DREAM and p130-DREAM); p107 contributes to G1/S gene repression only in the absence of RB and p130, demonstrating distinct and specific roles for each family member in damage-induced gene repression. |

A systematic screen identified p107 as a CDK4/6 substrate; the DREAM complex containing p107 mediates cell cycle gene repression. CDK4/6 phosphorylate p107 along with FOXM1 to control cell cycle entry and senescence suppression. |
