Zebrafish WW Domain Containing Transcription Regulator 1 (WWTR1) interaction partners

1. Taz is essential for micropylar cell fate acquisition and subsequent micropyle formation in zebrafish.

2. ur work identifies a novel role for the Hippo/Taz pathway in micropylar cell specification in zebrafish, and uncovers the molecular basis of micropyle formation in teleosts.

3. The authors show that the Hippo pathway transcriptional coactivators Yap1 and Wwtr1 are specifically localized to the presumptive epidermis and notochord, and play a critical and unexpected role in posterior body extension by regulating Fibronectin assembly underneath the presumptive epidermis and surrounding the notochord.

4. Altogether, the data suggest that Wwtr1 establishes the compact wall architecture necessary for trabeculation, and that Nrg/Erbb2 signaling negatively regulates its nuclear localization and therefore its activity.

5. Yap/Taz-Tead activity is necessary and sufficient for optic vesicle progenitors to adopt retinal pigment epithelium identity in zebrafish.

6. Taz is required in the anteroposterior patterning of the pronephric progenitor domain in the intermediate mesoderm, acting in part by regulating retinoic acid signaling in the pronephric progenitor field in the intermediate mesoderm.

7. Taz-depleted larvae displayed patterning defects in ventral cranial vessels that correlate with lateral displacement of thyroid follicles

8. When transcriptional coactivators Yap and Taz were restricted from interacting with Tead transcription factors through expression of a dominant negative transgene, cardiac precursors failed to migrate completely to the midline.

9. TAZ has a critical role in osteoblast differentiation in vivo

Pig (Porcine) WW Domain Containing Transcription Regulator 1 (WWTR1) interaction partners

1. MRTF is essential for TAZ expression; TAZ and MRTF inhibit each other's cytosolic mobility and stimulus-induced nuclear accumulation; they antagonize each other's stimulatory effect on the alpha-smooth muscle actin promoter, which harbours nearby cis-elements for both, but synergize on isolated TEAD-elements.

Human WW Domain Containing Transcription Regulator 1 (WWTR1) interaction partners

8. Study confirmed the increase of TAZ/YAP in skin biopsies from patients with diffuse systemic sclerosis.

9. The homologous proteins Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) are the key regulators in the Hippo pathway

10. Novel kindlin-2 signaling axis that senses the mechanical cues of cell microenvironment and controls mesenchymal stem cell fate decision through YAP1/TAZ.

11. Study shows YAP/TAZ function as key nodes of multiple signaling pathways and play multiple regulatory roles in cancer cells especially in metabolic reprogramming. [review]

12. The crosstalk between the Yes-associated protein/transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (YAP/TAZ) transcription factors and Notch signaling influences cell self-renewal, stem cell differentiation, cell fate decisions, epithelial-stromal interactions, inflammation, morphogenesis, and large-scale gene oscillations.

13. Dickkopf-3 (DKK3) is a heat shock transcription factor 1 protein (HSF1) effector that modulates the pro-tumorigenic behaviour of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), and DKK3 orchestrates a concomitant activation of beta-catenin and YAP oncogene protein (YAP)/tafazzin protein (TAZ).

14. Molecular mechanisms of TAZ protein in the lung physiological conditions and lung diseases.[review]

15. TAZ/YAP is highly expressed in malignant melanoma tumor tissues; high expression of TAZ/YAP promotes the progression of malignant melanoma and affects the postoperative survival of patients

16. The C-terminal NLS of TAZ is necessary and sufficient for efficient nuclear uptake via a RAN-independent mechanism.

17. Knockdown of YAP/TAZ using siRNA significantly reduced the expression of the leukocyte adhesion molecule VCAM1 induced by TNF-alpha.

18. This study indicates that YAP/TAZ couples cell proliferation with a metabolism suited for DNA replication and facilitates escape from oncogene-induced senescence. We speculate that this activity might be relevant during the initial phases of tumour progression or during experimental stem cell reprogramming induced by YAP.

19. YAP/TAZ mechanotransduction integrates with cell-cell communication pathways for fine-grained orchestration of stem cell decisions.

20. The TAZ WW domain exhibits a binding preference for the second of the two PPxY motifs of LATS1 in vitro. We modelled the structure of the domain in complex with LATS1 PPxY2 peptide and, through molecular dynamics simulations, show that WW domain-PPxY2 complex is stable with some flexibility in the peptide region.

1. In Yap (wWTR1) transgenic mice, TAZ downregulation in adipose stem cells activated PPARgamma, leading to their differentiation into mature adipocytes and consequently increased adipose tissue. These results highlight the in vivo necessity of TAZ for adipocyte commitment and differentiation
