The LATS1/LATS2 proteins also called WARTS are serine-threonine kinases involved in the Hippo signaling pathway with molecular masses of about 122 kDa and 104 kDa respectively. LATS1 and LATS2 are expressed in various tissues including the heart lung and liver. They work by phosphorylating other proteins which regulates cell proliferation and apoptosis. LATS proteins are found in the cytoplasm and can move into the nucleus influencing processes important for maintaining cellular homeostasis.
Biological function summary
LATS1 and LATS2 are part of the core Hippo signaling complex playing roles in controlling cell growth and organ size. They achieve this by inhibiting the transcription co-activator YAP/TAZ preventing excessive cell division and promoting programmed cell death when needed. This regulation ensures proper development and suppresses tumor formation. LATS proteins act as tumor suppressors preventing the overgrowth of cells that could lead to cancerous transformations.
Pathways
LATS1 and LATS2 integrate into the Hippo signaling and apoptotic pathways. In the Hippo pathway these kinases partner with MOB1 to phosphorylate YAP/TAZ preventing their translocation into the nucleus where they might trigger oncogenic gene expression. They also interact with other proteins like MST1/2 kinases within the Hippo cascade ensuring tight regulation of cell proliferation and death.
LATS1 and LATS2 are linked to cancer development and liver diseases. Dysregulation or mutations in these proteins can lead to unchecked cell growth posing a risk for cancers particularly liver cancer. Research shows that their interaction with other oncogenes like KRAS or tumor suppressors like p53 further influences their role in carcinogenesis. Additionally alterations in the Hippo pathway involving LATS proteins contribute to liver conditions potentially leading to hepatic disorders.
