APLF
aprataxin and PNKP like factor | MGC47799, Xip1, ZCCHH1, C2orf13

Enables several functions, including ADP-D-ribose modification-dependent protein binding activity; nuclease activity; and poly-ADP-D-ribose binding activity. Involved in DNA repair; DNA repair-dependent chromatin remodeling; and protein localization to chromatin. Located in nucleoplasm. Is active in site of double-strand break.

APLF — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating APLF 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for APLF. 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 = APLF 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 APLF

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of APLF, 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.
