Gene Information

human ... TNKS(8658)

General description

The gene TNKS (tankyrase) is mapped to human chromosome 8p23.1. It belongs to the PARP (poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase) family of proteins and is responsible for addition of poly (ADP-ribose) (PAR) to substrate proteins. The TNKS protein contains ankyrin repeats and a sterile α-motif (SAM).

Immunogen

TNKS (NP_003738, 1017 a.a. ~ 1124 a.a) partial recombinant protein with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26 KDa.

Biochem/physiol Actions

TNKS (tankyrase) is a regulator of Wnt-signaling. It negatively regulates Axin1, thereby suppressing β-catenin degradation and causing hyperactivation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. TNKS controls cell death and telomere length. It might also be associated with osteoarthritis. In murine lung cancer model, silencing of this gene reduces lung cancer cell growth. Application of TNKS inhibitor suppresses growth of hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Absence of TNKS activity helps in replication of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV).

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) was reported to downregulate the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Induction of Axin1, the negative regulator of the Wnt pathway, has been reported as an important mechanism for inhibition of β-catenin. Since Tankyrase (TNKS) negatively regulates Axin1, we investigated the
