ILF3 Transcription Factor
interleukin enhancer binding factor 3 | DRBP76, MPHOSPH4, MPP4, MPP4110, NF110, NF110b, NF90, NF90a, NF90c, NF90ctv, NFAR-1, NFAR-2, NFAR110, NFAR90, TCP110

This gene encodes a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) binding protein that complexes with other proteins, dsRNAs, small noncoding RNAs, and mRNAs to regulate gene expression and stabilize mRNAs. This protein (NF90, ILF3) forms a heterodimer with a 45 kDa transcription factor (NF45, ILF2) required for T-cell expression of interleukin 2. This complex has been shown to affect the redistribution of nuclear mRNA to the cytoplasm. Knockdown of NF45 or NF90 protein retards cell growth, possibly by inhibition of mRNA stabilization. In contrast, an isoform (NF110) of this gene that is predominantly restricted to the nucleus has only minor effects on cell growth when its levels are reduced. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]

Genes regulated by ILF3

Genes likely regulated by ILF3 through linked binding evidence in open chromatin. The chart ranks TF-linked genes by their mean Perturb-seq response to ILF3 knockdown, with negative coefficients indicating downregulation and positive coefficients indicating upregulation upon knockdown.

Regulatory Elements bound by the TF

Open chromatin elements (ATAC-seq) where ILF3 has ChIP-seq or motif footprint binding evidence and which are linked to at least one target gene region.

ILF3 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating ILF3 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for ILF3. 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 = ILF3 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 ILF3

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of ILF3, 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.
