, Tankyrase1/2 is necessary for inhibitory activity of Arpin Arp2/3 complex is the key machinery that drives the growth of branched actin network and

, Arpin is a recently found inhibitor of Arp2/3 complex that counteract WAVE complex

, GTPase Rac as well as WAVE complex, activator of Arp2/3 complex at the lamellipodial tip

. Thus, Arpin is involved in so called «incoherent feed-forward loop» that is formed by two antagonistic pathways: activating Rac-WAVE complex-Arp2/3 complex and inactivating Rac-Arpin-Arp2/3 complex

, In my thesis we showed that Arpin has two binding partners -Tankyrase-1 and Tankyrase

S. Smith, ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) family proteins that are localized to the telomeres and bind telomeric DNA-binding proteins TRF1 and TRF2, while TRF2 is known to protect telomere ends, and TRF1 negatively regulates the length of telomeres, Tankyrases are the poly

, Tankyrase has two homologs: 142 kDa Tankyrase-1 (TNKS1) and 130 kDa Tankyrase

S. Smith, TNKS1 and TNKS2 share 85% amino acid identity and they are supposed to have the same functions, 1998.

, Tankyrases interact with a wide spectrum of proteins and mediate poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of these proteins thus regulating essential cellular processes. Tankyrases bind telomeres, centrosomes, Golgi apparatus, NuMA (nuclear mitotic apparatus protein), SH3BP2 and others 2. First full-length three-dimensional structure of Tankyrase-1 and Tankyrase-2 bound to Arpin Tankyrase-1 consists of N-terminal histidine-, proline-, serine-rich (HPS) domain, five ankyrin repeat clusters (ARCs domain), However, unlikely Tankyrase-1, over expression of Tankyrase-2 caused a rapid cell death
