Abstract

Mammals express four highly conserved TEAD/TEF transcription factors that bind the same DNA sequence, but serve different functions during development. TEAD-2/TEF-4 protein purified from mouse cells was associated predominantly with a novel TEAD-binding domain at the amino terminus of YAP65, a powerful transcriptional coactivator. YAP65 interacted specifically with the carboxyl terminus of all four TEAD proteins. Both this interaction and sequence-specific DNA binding by TEAD were required for transcriptional activation in mouse cells. Expression of YAP in lymphocytic cells that normally do not support TEAD-dependent transcription (e.g., MPC11) resulted in up to 300-fold induction of TEAD activity. Conversely, TEAD overexpression squelched YAP activity. Therefore, the carboxy-terminal acidic activation domain in YAP is the transcriptional activation domain for TEAD transcription factors. However, whereas TEAD was concentrated in the nucleus, excess YAP65 accumulated in the cytoplasm as a complex with the cytoplasmic localization protein, 14-3-3. Because TEAD-dependent transcription was limited by YAP65, and YAP65 also binds Src/Yes protein tyrosine kinases, we propose that YAP65 regulates TEAD-dependent transcription in response to mitogenic signals.

  • Yap and Taz are transcriptional co-activators that regulate gene expression mainly by co-activating Tead transcription factors.

    “The ubiquitous transcriptional co-activators Yap (gene symbol Yap1 ) and Taz (gene symbol 36 Wwtr1 ) regulate gene expression mainly by co-activating the Tead transcription factors.”

    From The Hippo signal transduction network for exercise physiologists (2016) · cites this paper as [138]

    The section “YAP is a general transcriptional coactivator for TEAD transcription factors” identifies YAP as a TEAD coactivator in mammalian cells. “Regulation of TEAD activity” calls TAZ a coactivator homologous to YAP, but does not establish that TAZ coactivates TEAD. The paper also does not show that either protein regulates gene expression mainly through TEAD; its predominance claim concerns YAP as an activation domain for TEAD, not TEAD as YAP’s main partner.

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.
