The core of this pathway is composed of a kinase cascade wherein STK3/MST2 and STK4/MST1, in complex with its regulatory protein SAV1, phosphorylates and activates LATS1/2 in complex with its regulatory protein MOB1, which in turn phosphorylates and inactivates YAP1 oncoprotein and WWTR1/TAZ. Plays a key role to control cell proliferation in response to cell contact. Phosphorylation of YAP1 by LATS1/2 inhibits its translocation into the nucleus to regulate cellular genes important for cell proliferation, cell death, and cell migration. The presence of TEAD transcription factors are required for it to stimulate gene expression, cell growth, anchorage-independent growth, and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) induction. Isoform 2 and isoform 3 can activate the C-terminal fragment (CTF) of ERBB4 (isoform 3). Publication Abstract from PubMed The WW domains are the smallest modular domains known. The study of the structural basis of their stability is important to understand their physiological role. These domains are intrinsically flexible, which makes them difficult to crystallize. The first WW domain of the human Yes tyrosine kinase Associated Protein (YAP) has been crystallized and its structure has been solved by X-ray diffraction at 1.6A resolution. Crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group P21212 with unit cell parameters a=42.67, b=43.10 and c=21.30. The addition of proline and other small-molecule additives improves drastically the quality of the crystals. The interactions that stabilize this minimal modular domain have been analysed. This crystal structure reveals that, besides the stabilization of the hydrophobic core of the protein by the aromatic cluster formed by Trp177-Phe189-Pro202, some salt-bridges interactions might affect the stability of the domain.
