TNKS
tankyrase | ARTD5, PARP-5a, PARP5A, TIN1, TINF1, TNKS1, pART5

Enables histone binding activity; pentosyltransferase activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway; post-translational protein modification; and regulation of chromosome organization. Acts upstream of or within peptidyl-serine phosphorylation and peptidyl-threonine phosphorylation. Located in several cellular components, including chromosome, telomeric region; mitotic spindle pole; and nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

TNKS — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating TNKS 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for TNKS. The Binding column indicates whether any binding evidence exists for this TF–gene pair (ChIP-seq or motif footprint peaks). The Mean coef is the average Perturb-seq regression coefficient across active gRNAs (positive = TNKS upregulated upon KD; negative = downregulated). The Outlier column indicates whether this gene is in the top or bottom 5% of all TF knockdown effects.

Elements linked to TNKS

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of TNKS, linked by TSS proximity or chromatin conformation (Multiome / HiCAR). Each element overlaps at least one TF ChIP-seq binding site — the TFs column shows how many distinct TFs bind that element.
