USP53
ubiquitin specific peptidase 53 | KIAA1350

Enables K63-linked deubiquitinase activity. Predicted to be involved in response to auditory stimulus and sensory perception of sound. Predicted to act upstream of or within action potential; epithelial cell apoptotic process; and outer hair cell apoptotic process. Located in bicellular tight junction. Implicated in progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

USP53 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating USP53 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for USP53. 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 = USP53 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 USP53

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of USP53, 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.
