The adenoviral oncoprotein E1A induces progression through the cell cycle by binding to
the products of the p300/CBP and retinoblastoma gene families. A new cellular p300/CBP-
associated factor (P/CAF) having intrinsic histone acetylase activity has been identified that
competes with E1A. Exogenous expression of P/CAF in HeLa cells inhibits cell-cycle
progression and counteracts the mitogenic activity of E1A. E1A disturbs the normal cellular
interaction between p300/CBP and its associated histone acetylase.
