Tankyrases catalyse poly-ADP-ribosylation of their binding partners and the modification serves as a signal for the subsequent proteasomal degradation of these proteins. Tankyrases thereby regulate the turnover of many proteins involved in multiple and diverse cellular processes, such as mitotic spindle formation, telomere homeostasis and Wnt/β-catenin signalling. In recent years, tankyrases have become attractive targets for the development of inhibitors as potential therapeutics against cancer and fibrosis. Further, it has become clear that tankyrases are not only enzymes, but also act as scaffolding proteins forming large cellular signalling complexes. While many potent and selective tankyrase inhibitors of the poly-ADP-ribosylation function exist, the inhibition of tankyrase scaffolding functions remains scarcely explored. In this work we present a robust, simple and cost-effective high-throughput screening platform based on FRET for the discovery of small molecule probes targeting the protein-protein interactions of tankyrases. Validatory screening with the platform led to the identification of two compounds with modest binding affinity to the tankyrase 2 ARC4 domain, demonstrating the applicability of this approach. The platform will facilitate identification of small molecules binding to tankyrase ARC or SAM domains and help to advance a structure-guided development of improved chemical probes targeting tankyrase oligomerization and substrate protein interactions.
