Description
Description: Negative regulator of YAP1 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. Phosphorylation of YAP1 by LATS2 inhibits its translocation into the nucleus to regulate cellular genes important for cell proliferation, cell death, and cell migration. Acts as a tumor suppressor which plays a critical role in centrosome duplication, maintenance of mitotic fidelity and genomic stability. Negatively regulates G1/S transition by down-regulating cyclin E/CDK2 kinase activity. Negative regulator of the androgen receptor. Phosphorylates SNAI1 in the nucleus leading to its nuclear retention and stabilization, which enhances its epithelial-mesenchymal transition and tumor cell invasion/migration activities. This tumor-promoting activity is independent of its effects upon YAP1 or WWTR1/TAZ.
Post Translational Modifications: Autophosphorylated and phosphorylated during M-phase and the G1/S-phase of the cell cycle. Phosphorylated and activated by STK3/MST2.
Subunit Structure: Interacts with and is phosphorylated by AURKA. Binds to AR. Interacts with AJUBA during mitosis and this complex regulates organization of the spindle apparatus through recruitment of gamma-tubulin to the centrosome. Interacts (via PPxY motif) with YAP1 (via WW domains). Interacts with MOB1A and MOB1B. Interacts with LIMD1, WTIP and AJUBA. Interacts with SNAI1.
Similarity: Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family
