YAP1 also known as Yes-associated protein 1 is a transcriptional coactivator involved in regulating gene expression. This protein has a mass of approximately 65 kDa and is expressed in various tissues including the liver and heart. YAP1 plays a significant role in the Hippo signaling pathway where it acts by binding to transcriptional enhancer factors such as TEADs to activate gene transcription.
Biological function summary
YAP1 influences cell proliferation and apoptosis by interacting with other proteins to form transcriptional complexes. It participates in promoting organ size and tissue regeneration. YAP1's activity is regulated through phosphorylation primarily at serine 127 which determines its subcellular localization and transcriptional activity. The phosphorylated form often referred to as phospho-YAP remains in the cytoplasm while dephosphorylated YAP1 translocates to the nucleus where it contributes to transcriptional activation.
Pathways
YAP1 is importantly involved in the Hippo signaling pathway and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. In the Hippo pathway kinases LATS1/2 phosphorylate YAP1 preventing its nuclear localization and promoting cell apoptosis when required. In contrast in the Wnt/β-catenin pathway YAP1 interacts with β-catenin to regulate gene expression related to proliferation. Proteins such as TAZ which shares structural and functional similarities with YAP1 often collaborate in these pathways influencing cellular growth and differentiation.
YAP1's dysregulation links to cancer development notably in liver and breast cancer. Overexpression or nuclear accumulation of YAP1 leads to uncontrollable cell growth and tumorigenesis. Its interaction with the TEAD transcription factors highlights its significance in oncogenesis. Furthermore YAP1 also connects with pathways involving other proteins like TGF-β contributing to fibrosis-related disorders such as pulmonary fibrosis where unexpected remodeling and excessive tissue growth occur.
