SMC6
structural maintenance of chromosomes 6 | FLJ22116, SMC6L1

Enables DNA secondary structure binding activity and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular senescence; negative regulation by host of viral genome replication; and telomere maintenance via recombination. Located in chromosome and nuclear body. Part of Smc5-Smc6 complex. Is active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

SMC6 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating SMC6 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for SMC6. 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 = SMC6 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 SMC6

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of SMC6, 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.
