USP13
ubiquitin specific peptidase 13 | IsoT-3

Enables several functions, including BAT3 complex binding activity; peptidase activity; and proteasome binding activity. Involved in several processes, including maintenance of unfolded protein; regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and regulation of catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within protein deubiquitination and protein stabilization. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus.

USP13 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating USP13 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for USP13. 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 = USP13 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 USP13

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of USP13, 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.
