YAP1

Gene
YAP1
Protein
AP-1-like transcription factor YAP1
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Length
650 amino acids
Function
Transcription activator involved in oxidative stress response and redox homeostasis. Regulates the transcription of genes encoding antioxidant enzymes and components of the cellular thiol-reducing pathways, including the thioredoxin system (TRX2, TRR1), the glutaredoxin system (GSH1, GLR1), superoxide dismutase (SOD1, SOD2), glutathione peroxidase (GPX2), and thiol-specific peroxidases (TSA1, AHP1). The induction of some of these genes requires the cooperative action of both, YAP1 and SKN7. Preferentially binds to promoters with the core binding site 5'-TTA[CG]TAA-3'. Activity of the transcription factor is controlled through oxidation of specific cysteine residues resulting in the alteration of its subcellular location. Oxidative stress (as well as carbon stress, but not increased temperature, acidic pH, or ionic stress) induces nuclear accumulation and as a result YAP1 transcriptional activity. Activation by hydrogen peroxide or thiol-reactive chemicals elicit distinct adaptive gene responses. Nuclear export is restored when disulfide bonds are reduced by thioredoxin (TRX2), whose expression is controlled by YAP1, providing a mechanism for negative autoregulation. When overexpressed, YAP1 confers pleiotropic drug-resistance and increases cellular tolerance to cadmium, iron chelators and zinc.

Length

Function
Transcriptional regulator which can act both as a coactivator and a corepressor and is the critical downstream regulatory target in the Hippo signaling pathway that plays a pivotal role in organ size control and tumor suppression by restricting proliferation and promoting apoptosis. 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 in tissue tension and 3D tissue shape by regulating cortical actomyosin network formation. Acts via ARHGAP18, a Rho GTPase activating protein that suppresses F-actin polymerization. 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.
