FIGURE 1.
Overview of the Hippo-Yap/Taz signaling pathway. Core components of the mammalian Hippo pathway and their regulation through phosphorylation events. (Left, canonical Hippo pathway): Hippo signaling inactive, nuclear Yap/Taz accumulation and activation of TEAD-mediated transcriptional programs. Yap/Taz phosphorylation by the Hippo kinases (ultimately by Lats1/2) leading to cytoplasmic sequestration for interactions with other pathways, degradation and other functions (bottom). Mst1/2 and Lats1/2 are also activated by non-canonical kinases Tao-1, PKA and MAP4K (top and right)
