Brahma–Yki/Sd bind to Yki targets. [30,32]
Knockdown of Brahma inhibits Yki-mediated tissue overgrowth. [32]
Knockdown of Brahma exacerbates Yki-mediated tissue overgrowth. [33]
BAP knockdown increases Yki target expression. [33]
TAZ/BRM interact via PPXY-WW domains to increase TAZ target expression. [24]
SWI/SNF complex (indirect) ACTL6A-p63 inhibits KIBRA expression to increase YAP activity. [31]
ARID1A sequesters YAP/TAZ from binding to TEAD to decrease YAP activity. [34]
GAGA factor (direct) GAF–Yki/dE2f1 bind to Yki targets, increasing their expression and overall cell proliferation. [28]
GAF ChIP-seq peaks overlap with Yki ChIP-seq peaks. [30]
Yki–GAF interactions occur in a WW domain-independent manner. [30]
Mediator complex (direct) Mediator–Yki interact in the nucleus and increase Yki target transcription. [30]
Histone methyltransferase complex (direct) Ncoa6–Yki/Sd interact via PPXY-WW domains at Yki targets to drive transcription. [25,26]
NCOA6–YAP interact and increase YAP target gene transcription. [26]
NuRD complex (direct) YAP/TAZ/TEAD–NuRD interact within the TSO complex to buffer/inhibit expression of pluripotency/ME specification genes. [23]
YAP/TAZ/TEAD–NuRD interact to epigenetically repress target gene activity to promote proliferation. [27]
