SMC5
structural maintenance of chromosomes 5 | KIAA0594, SMC5L1

Enables DNA secondary structure binding activity. Involved in several processes, including DNA recombination; negative regulation by host of viral genome replication; and positive regulation of cell cycle process. Located in cell junction; chromosome; and nuclear body. Part of Smc5-Smc6 complex. Is active in nucleus. Implicated in mosaic variegated aneuploidy syndrome.

SMC5 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating SMC5 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for SMC5. 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 = SMC5 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 SMC5

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of SMC5, 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.
