MAVS
mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein | Cardif, IPS-1, KIAA1271, VISA

This gene encodes an intermediary protein necessary in the virus-triggered beta interferon signaling pathways. It is required for activation of transcription factors which regulate expression of beta interferon and contributes to antiviral innate immunity. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]

MAVS — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating MAVS 0 TFs

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

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