FunctionTNKS1_HUMAN Poly-ADP-ribosyltransferase involved in various processes such as Wnt signaling pathway, telomere length and vesicle trafficking. Acts as an activator of the Wnt signaling pathway by mediating poly-ADP-ribosylation (PARsylation) of AXIN1 and AXIN2, 2 key components of the beta-catenin destruction complex: poly-ADP-ribosylated target proteins are recognized by RNF146, which mediates their ubiquitination and subsequent degradation. Also mediates PARsylation of BLZF1 and CASC3, followed by recruitment of RNF146 and subsequent ubiquitination. Mediates PARsylation of TERF1, thereby contributing to the regulation of telomere length. Involved in centrosome maturation during prometaphase by mediating PARsylation of HEPACAM2/MIKI. May also regulate vesicle trafficking and modulate the subcellular distribution of SLC2A4/GLUT4-vesicles. May be involved in spindle pole assembly through PARsylation of NUMA1.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] Publication Abstract from PubMedAberrant activation of the Wnt signaling pathway plays an important role in human cancer development. Wnt signaling is negatively regulated by Axin, a scaffolding protein that controls a rate-limiting step in the destruction of beta-catenin, the central activator of the Wnt pathway. In Wnt-stimulated cells, Axin is rapidly modified by tankyrase-mediated poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation, which promotes the proteolysis of Axin and consequent stabilization of beta-catenin. Thus, regulation of the levels and activity of tankyrases is mechanistically important in controlling Wnt signaling. Here, we identify ubiquitin-specific protease 25 (USP25) as a positive regulator of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling. We found that USP25 directly interacted with tankyrases to promote their deubiquitination and stabilization. We demonstrated that USP25 deficiency could promote the degradation of tankyrases and consequent stabilization of Axin to antagonize Wnt signaling. We further characterized the interaction between TNKS1 and USP25 by X-ray crystal structure determination. Our results provide important new insights into the molecular mechanism that regulates the turnover of tankyrases and the possibility of targeting the stability of tankyrases by antagonizing their interaction with USP25 to modulate the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. USP25 regulates Wnt signaling by controlling the stability of tankyrases.,Xu D, Liu J, Fu T, Shan B, Qian L, Pan L, Yuan J Genes Dev. 2017 May 15;31(10):1024-1035. doi: 10.1101/gad.300889.117.
