USP22
ubiquitin specific peptidase 22 | KIAA1063, USP3L

Enables deubiquitinase activity; enzyme binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Contributes to histone H4 acetyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including G2/M transition of mitotic cell cycle; protein deubiquitination; and regulation of gene expression. Part of SAGA complex.

USP22 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating USP22 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for USP22. 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 = USP22 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 USP22

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of USP22, 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.
