Transcription factors enriched in binding to promoter regions of perturbed genes
| TF | Function | Targeting group |
|---|---|---|
| CBX8 | A key component of a Polycomb group (PcG) complex, essential for maintaining the transcriptionally repressive state of numerous genes | Down-regulated |
| EZH2 | A Polycomb group (PcG) protein, it catalyzes the methylation of ‘Lys-9' (H3K9me) and ‘Lys-27' (H3K27me) on histone H3, leading to transcriptional repression of the target gene | RI |
| KAT8 | A histone acetyltransferase that may be involved in transcriptional activation | RI |
| LEO1 | A PAF1 complex component, plays multiple roles in development, maintenance of embryonic stem cell pluripotency, and transcriptional elongation | RI |
| TBP | Serves a central role in the DNA-binding multiprotein factor TFIID | RI |
| RARA | A nuclear retinoic acid receptor, the encoded protein, retinoic acid receptor alpha, regulates transcription in a ligand-dependent manner | RI |
| USP7 | This protein deubiquitinates different target proteins and plays important roles in DNA damage, cell growth, and apoptosis | RI |
| SALL1 | A transcription factor involved in embryonic development | Up-regulated |
