RLF Transcription Factor
RLF zinc finger | ZNF292L, Zn-15L

Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of heterochromatin formation. Located in extracellular exosome. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Genes regulated by RLF

Genes likely regulated by RLF through linked binding evidence in open chromatin. The chart ranks TF-linked genes by their mean Perturb-seq response to RLF 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 RLF has ChIP-seq or motif footprint binding evidence and which are linked to at least one target gene region.

RLF — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating RLF 0 TFs

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

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