    text
  • peripheral membrane
  • pericentriolar matrix of mitotic centromeres
  • AXIN1, TNKS2 and KIF3A are co-localized with SLC2A4 on the trans-Golgi network
  • basic FUNCTION
  • having PARP activity and may be modifying TERF1, and thereby contributing to the regulation of telomere length
  • may regulate vesicle trafficking and modulate the subcellular distribution of SLC2A4/GLUT4-vesicles
  • containing epitopes that induce humoral and cellular immune responses in cancer patients
  • TNKS and TNKS2 are critical regulators of canonical Wnt signaling in some cellular contexts
  • TNKS and TNKS2 are core components of the canonical Wnt pathway and their inhibitors should enjoy broad usage as antagonists of Wnt signaling
  • TNKS/TNKS2) catalyze the covalent linkage of ADP-ribose polymer chains onto target proteins, regulating their ubiquitylation, stability, and function
  • play pharmaceutically important roles, at least in telomere homeostasis and Wnt signaling, by covalently ADP-ribosylating target proteins and consequently regulating their functions
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component RNF146, tankyrase, and Axin form a protein complex, and RNF146 mediates ubiquitylation of all three proteins to target them for proteasomal degradation
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • complexing with TNKS
  • interacting with LNPEP/Otase in the SLC2A4/GLUT4-vesicles
  • binding to the N-terminus of GRB14 and TERF1
  • RNF146 destabilizes tankyrases TNKS and TNKS2 proteins and, in a reciprocal relationship, tankyrase activity reduces RNF146 protein levels
  • ability of TNKS2 to perturb SH3BP2 protein levels is not a result of binding alone but requires the intact TNKS2 catalytic domain
  • Axin interacts with TNKS2 and the kinesin motor protein KIF3A, forming a ternary complex crucial for SLC2A4 translocation in response to insulin
  • USP25 directly interacted with TNKS, TNKS2 to promote their deubiquitination and stabilization
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    inhibited by XAV939 and thus stabilizes axin and antagonizes Wnt signalling
