Gene Description

TNKS encodes tankyrase-1/PARP5A, a multidomain NAD+-dependent ADP-ribosyltransferase that recognizes substrate proteins through ankyrin-repeat clusters and catalyzes protein poly- and auto-ADP-ribosylation. Its core functions include PARylation-dependent control of AXIN turnover and Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, telomere-associated TRF1 biology, and NuMA-dependent spindle organization, with activity distributed across cytoplasmic, nuclear/telomeric, and spindle-associated compartments.

GO:0090263 positive regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: positive regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway is a canonical TNKS pathway output through AXIN PARylation.

Loss of AXIN destabilizes the destruction complex, thereby **stabilizing β-catenin** and increasing pathway output. Conversely, **tankyrase inhibition stabilizes AXIN** and reduces cytosolic β-catenin and β-catenin–dependent transcription.

GO:0051301 cell division
IEA
GO_REF:0000043
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: cell division is supported as a mitotic or telomere-cohesion output of TNKS activity.
Reason: These cell-cycle phenotypes are downstream of TNKS PARylation of substrates such as NuMA or telomere-associated factors, but the core activity is ADP-ribosyltransferase activity.
Supporting Evidence:
file:human/TNKS/TNKS-deep-research-falcon.md
TNKS also targets proteins involved in mitosis. A structural/functional analysis in the retrieved corpus reports that **TNKS PARylates NuMA**, and further states that **TNKS1 (but not TNKS2)** is specifically required for NuMA PARylation and correct mitotic spindle organization.

Reason: TNKS catalyzes protein PARylation and auto-PARylation of itself and binding partners.
Supporting Evidence:
file:human/TNKS/TNKS-deep-research-falcon.md
**Tankyrase-1 (TNKS1)** is an **ADP-ribosyltransferase** of the PARP/ARTD family that **uses NAD+ as the substrate** to catalyze covalent transfer of ADP-ribose onto itself and protein binding partners, generating **poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR)** chains (i.e., PARylation).
file:human/TNKS/TNKS-deep-research-falcon.md
Mechanistically, TNKS cleaves NAD+ and transfers ADP-ribose to substrate acceptor sites; a structural/functional synthesis in the retrieved literature notes **preference for acidic acceptor residues (Glu/Asp)** and describes canonical catalytic features including an **HYE catalytic triad** and a catalytic acceptor-site architecture containing a **CHCC-type zinc-binding motif** important for structural integrity of the acceptor site.

GO:0090263 positive regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
ACCEPT
Summary: positive regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway is a canonical TNKS pathway output through AXIN PARylation.
Reason: TNKS PARylates AXIN1/2 to promote RNF146-dependent AXIN degradation, thereby increasing Wnt/beta-catenin pathway output.
Supporting Evidence:
file:human/TNKS/TNKS-deep-research-falcon.md
Multiple retrieved sources state that **tankyrase PARylates AXIN (AXIN1/2)**, which promotes **RNF146-mediated ubiquitination** and **proteasomal degradation** of AXIN. Loss of AXIN destabilizes the destruction complex, thereby **stabilizing β-catenin** and increasing pathway output. Conversely, **tankyrase inhibition stabilizes AXIN** and reduces cytosolic β-catenin and β-catenin–dependent transcription.
file:human/TNKS/TNKS-deep-research-falcon.md
**Primary pathway role:** TNKS1/2 control **Wnt/β-catenin signaling** by PARylating **AXIN1/2** to promote RNF146-dependent degradation; inhibition stabilizes AXIN and suppresses β-catenin output.
file:human/TNKS/TNKS-deep-research-falcon.md
The canonical E3 ligase is **RNF146**, described as a **PAR-directed E3** that binds PARylated substrates (via a PAR-binding WWE domain recognizing iso-ADP-ribose) and installs **K48-linked polyubiquitin chains**, driving proteasomal degradation. This underlies a major mechanism by which TNKS controls the abundance of multiple signaling proteins.

GO:0090263 positive regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway
TAS
Reactome:R-HSA-4641257
ACCEPT
Summary: positive regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway is a canonical TNKS pathway output through AXIN PARylation.
Reason: TNKS PARylates AXIN1/2 to promote RNF146-dependent AXIN degradation, thereby increasing Wnt/beta-catenin pathway output.
Supporting Evidence:
file:human/TNKS/TNKS-deep-research-falcon.md
Multiple retrieved sources state that **tankyrase PARylates AXIN (AXIN1/2)**, which promotes **RNF146-mediated ubiquitination** and **proteasomal degradation** of AXIN. Loss of AXIN destabilizes the destruction complex, thereby **stabilizing β-catenin** and increasing pathway output. Conversely, **tankyrase inhibition stabilizes AXIN** and reduces cytosolic β-catenin and β-catenin–dependent transcription.
file:human/TNKS/TNKS-deep-research-falcon.md
**Primary pathway role:** TNKS1/2 control **Wnt/β-catenin signaling** by PARylating **AXIN1/2** to promote RNF146-dependent degradation; inhibition stabilizes AXIN and suppresses β-catenin output.
file:human/TNKS/TNKS-deep-research-falcon.md
The canonical E3 ligase is **RNF146**, described as a **PAR-directed E3** that binds PARylated substrates (via a PAR-binding WWE domain recognizing iso-ADP-ribose) and installs **K48-linked polyubiquitin chains**, driving proteasomal degradation. This underlies a major mechanism by which TNKS controls the abundance of multiple signaling proteins.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: spindle assembly is supported as a mitotic or telomere-cohesion output of TNKS activity.
Reason: These cell-cycle phenotypes are downstream of TNKS PARylation of substrates such as NuMA or telomere-associated factors, but the core activity is ADP-ribosyltransferase activity.

    Multiple retrieved sources state that **tankyrase PARylates AXIN (AXIN1/2)**, which promotes **RNF146-mediated ubiquitination** and **proteasomal degradation** of AXIN. Loss of AXIN destabilizes the destruction complex, thereby **stabilizing β-catenin** and increasing pathway output. Conversely, **tankyrase inhibition stabilizes AXIN** and reduces cytosolic β-catenin and β-catenin–dependent transcription.
