E2F6 Transcription Factor
E2F transcription factor 6 | E2F-6

This gene encodes a member of a family of transcription factors that play a crucial role in the control of the cell cycle. The protein encoded by this gene lacks the transactivation and tumor suppressor protein association domains found in other family members, and contains a modular suppression domain that functions in the inhibition of transcription. It interacts in a complex with chromatin modifying factors. There are pseudogenes for this gene on chromosomes 22 and X. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Genes regulated by E2F6

Genes likely regulated by E2F6 through linked binding evidence in open chromatin. The chart ranks TF-linked genes by their mean Perturb-seq response to E2F6 knockdown, with negative coefficients indicating downregulation and positive coefficients indicating upregulation upon knockdown.

TFs regulating E2F6 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for E2F6. 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 = E2F6 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 E2F6

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of E2F6, 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.
