Abstract

Hippo signaling is a tumor-suppressor pathway involved in organ size control and tumorigenesis through the inhibition of YAP and TAZ. Here, we show that energy stress induces YAP cytoplasmic retention and S127 phosphorylation and inhibits YAP transcriptional activity and YAP-dependent transformation. These effects require the central metabolic sensor AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and the upstream Hippo pathway components Lats1/Lats2 and angiomotin-like 1 (AMOTL1). Furthermore, we show that AMPK directly phosphorylates S793 of AMOTL1. AMPK activation stabilizes and increases AMOTL1 steady-state protein levels, contributing to YAP inhibition. The phosphorylation-deficient S793Ala mutant of AMOTL1 showed a shorter half-life and conferred resistance to energy-stress-induced YAP inhibition. Our findings link energy sensing to the Hippo-YAP pathway and suggest that YAP may integrate spatial (contact inhibition), mechanical, and metabolic signals to control cellular proliferation and survival.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • AMPK phosphorylates the Yap regulator Amotl1 on Ser293.

    “These include the phosphorylation of the Yap regulator Amotl1 on Ser293 by AMPK (26)”

    From The Hippo signal transduction network for exercise physiologists (2016) · cites this paper as [26]

    The Results section, “AMPK directly phosphorylates AMOTL1 at Ser793,” identifies Ser793—not Ser293—as the site and reports that purified AMPK phosphorylated wild-type AMOTL1 but not the S793A mutant. The cited paper therefore gives a different residue number from the citing sentence. (LLM, conf=0.90)

    Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Glucose and AMPK are endurance-exercise-related signals that have been linked to YAP/TAZ.

    “Endurance exercise-associated signals linked to YAP/TAZ”

    From The Hippo signal transduction network for exercise physiologists (2016) · cites this paper as DeRan et al Cell Rep (2014)

    The Results section (page not provided) links glucose deprivation and AMPK activation to YAP regulation and reports increased YAP and TAZ phosphorylation after treatment with an AMPK activator. It does not examine endurance exercise or establish that these are endurance-exercise-associated signals. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
