Although ectopic expression of E2F in Cyclin E mutant embryos produces E2F activity, and consequent expression of multiple replication functions, DNA synthesis is not induced.

The Drosophila endocycle is controlled by Cyclin E and lacks a checkpoint ensuring S-phase completion. of outstanding interest Genes Dev. 10:1996;2514-2526 In this paper, the role of Cyclin E in endocycle S phases is addressed. The genome is usually under-replicated in these S phases but a hypomorphic mutation in cyclin E that alters its normal fluctuations causes complete replication. Expression of Cyclin E in these cells also causes complete replication, demonstrating that Cyclin E is limiting for replication in these cells.

After Cdc2 mutants deplete a maternal supply of wild-type Cdc2, mitotic cells initiate endocycles inappropriately.
