  Function in Host
Serine/threonine kinase that acts as an essential activatorof the Wnt signaling pathway. Recruited to promoters of Wnt targetgenes and required to activate their expression. May act byphosphorylating TCF4/TCF7L2. Appears to act upstream of the JUN N-terminal pathway. May play a role in the response to environmentalstress. Part of a signaling complex composed of NEDD4, RAP2A and TNIKwhich regulates neuronal dendrite extension and arborization duringdevelopment. More generally, it may play a role in cytoskeletalrearrangements and regulate cell spreading. Phosphorylates SMAD1 onThr-322. [1-6]

Function of This Protein During Virus Infection
Virus NameSARS-COV-2 Protein Function Pro-viral [7]
Infected TissueLung Infection Time7-9 Days
Infected CellCalu-3 Cells (Human epithelial cell line) Cellosaurus IDCVCL_0609 
Method DescriptionTo detect the role of host protein TNIK in viral infection, TNIK protein knockout Calu-3 Cells were infected with SARS-COV-2 for 7 - 9 Days , and the effects on infection was detected through CRISPR-based genome-wide gene-knockout screen.
ResultsIt is reported that knockout of TNIK leads to the decreased SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels compared with control group.
