Zyxin-Siah2–Lats2 axis mediates cooperation between Hippo and TGF-β signalling pathways
Abstract
Hippo and TGF-β are crucial signalling pathways involved in the development of various types of tumours. Here, the authors demonstrate that TGF-β can directly regulate Hippo pathway through the stabilization of the scaffold protein Zyxin, which forms a ternary complex with Siah2 and Lats2 promoting Lats2 degradation and YAP activation.
