A role for TAZ in migration, invasion, and tumorigenesis of breast cancer cells.
- S. W. Chan, C. J. Lim, +5 authors W. Hong
- Biology, Medicine
- Cancer research
- 15 April 2008
TAZ (WWTR1), identified as a 14-3-3 binding protein with a PDZ binding motif, modulates mesenchymal stem cell differentiation. We now show that TAZ plays a critical role in the migration, invasion,… Expand
The Hippo Tumor Pathway Promotes TAZ Degradation by Phosphorylating a Phosphodegron and Recruiting the SCFβ-TrCP E3 Ligase*
- Chen-Ying Liu, Zheng-Yu Zha, +11 authors K. Guan
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of Biological Chemistry
- 21 September 2010
The TAZ transcription co-activator promotes cell proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. TAZ is inhibited by the Hippo tumor suppressor pathway, which promotes TAZ cytoplasmic… Expand
Hippo Pathway-independent Restriction of TAZ and YAP by Angiomotin*
- S. W. Chan, C. J. Lim, Y. F. Chong, A. Pobbati, Caixia Huang, W. Hong
- Medicine, Biology
- The Journal of Biological Chemistry
- 11 January 2011
The Hippo pathway restricts the activity of transcriptional co-activators TAZ and YAP by phosphorylating them for cytoplasmic sequestration or degradation. In this report, we describe an independent… Expand
Structural basis of YAP recognition by TEAD4 in the hippo pathway.
- L. Chen, S. W. Chan, +4 authors H. Song
- Biology, Medicine
- Genes & development
- 1 February 2010
The Hippo signaling pathway controls cell growth, proliferation, and apoptosis by regulating the expression of target genes that execute these processes. Acting downstream from this pathway is the… Expand
Structural and functional similarity between the Vgll1-TEAD and the YAP-TEAD complexes.
- A. Pobbati, S. W. Chan, I. Lee, H. Song, W. Hong
- Biology, Medicine
- Structure
- 3 July 2012
The structure of the complex between the transcription cofactor Vgll1 and the transcription factor TEAD4, the mammalian equivalent of the Drosophila Vestigial and Scalloped, respectively, is… Expand
AXL receptor kinase is a mediator of YAP-dependent oncogenic functions in hepatocellular carcinoma
- M. Z. Xu, S. W. Chan, +8 authors J. Luk
- Biology, Medicine
- Oncogene
- 10 March 2011
Yes-associated protein (YAP) is a downstream effector of the Hippo signaling pathway, which controls organ expansion and tissue development. We have recently defined the tumorigenic potential and… Expand
TEADs Mediate Nuclear Retention of TAZ to Promote Oncogenic Transformation*
- S. W. Chan, C. J. Lim, L. S. Loo, Y. F. Chong, Caixia Huang, W. Hong
- Medicine, Biology
- Journal of Biological Chemistry
- 22 May 2009
The transcriptional coactivators YAP and TAZ are downstream targets inhibited by the Hippo tumor suppressor pathway. The expression level of TAZ is recently shown to be elevated in invasive breast… Expand
WW domain-mediated interaction with Wbp2 is important for the oncogenic property of TAZ
- S. W. Chan, C. J. Lim, +6 authors W. Hong
- Biology, Medicine
- Oncogene
- 25 October 2010
The transcriptional co-activators YAP and TAZ are downstream targets inhibited by the Hippo tumor suppressor pathway. YAP and TAZ both possess WW domains, which are important protein–protein… Expand
Angiomotin binding-induced activation of Merlin/NF2 in the Hippo pathway
The tumor suppressor Merlin/NF2 functions upstream of the core Hippo pathway kinases Lats1/2 and Mst1/2, as well as the nuclear E3 ubiquitin ligase CRL4DCAF1. Numerous mutations of Merlin have been… Expand
Actin-binding and Cell Proliferation Activities of Angiomotin Family Members Are Regulated by Hippo Pathway-mediated Phosphorylation*

- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of Biological Chemistry
- 13 November 2013
Background: LATS kinase, one of the core kinases of Hippo pathway, phosphorylates and inactivates the downstream coactivator YAP/TAZ. Results: The angiomotin (Amot) family members are phosphorylated… Expand
