CUL2
cullin 2

Enables ubiquitin ligase complex scaffold activity and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process via the C-end degron rule pathway. Located in nucleoplasm. Part of Cul2-RING ubiquitin ligase complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

CUL2 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating CUL2 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for CUL2. 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 = CUL2 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 CUL2

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of CUL2, 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.
