AMBRA1
autophagy and beclin 1 regulator 1 | DCAF3, FLJ20294, KIAA1736, WDR94

Enables enzyme binding activity; protein phosphatase activator activity; and ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including macroautophagy; positive regulation of free ubiquitin chain polymerization; and positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction. Located in cytosol. Part of Cul4-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. Is active in cytoskeleton; mitochondrion; and nucleus. Biomarker of multiple system atrophy.

Expression (TPM)
AMBRA1 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating AMBRA1 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for AMBRA1. The Binding column indicates whether any binding evidence exists for this TF–gene pair (ChIP-seq or motif footprint peaks). The Mean coef is the average Perturb-seq regression coefficient across active gRNAs (positive = AMBRA1 upregulated upon KD; negative = downregulated). The Outlier column indicates whether this gene is in the top or bottom 5% of all TF knockdown effects.

Elements linked to AMBRA1

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of AMBRA1, linked by TSS proximity or chromatin conformation (Multiome / HiCAR). Each element overlaps at least one TF ChIP-seq binding site — the TFs column shows how many distinct TFs bind that element.
