Function
TEAD3_HUMAN Transcription factor which plays a key role in the Hippo signaling pathway, a pathway involved 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 MST1/MST2, 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. Acts by mediating gene expression of YAP1 and WWTR1/TAZ, thereby regulating cell proliferation, migration and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) induction. Binds to multiple functional elements of the human chorionic somatomammotropin-B gene enhancer.[1] [2]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
In the Hippo signaling pathway, the palmitoylated transcriptional enhanced associated domain (TEAD) protein interacts with the coactivator Yes-associated protein/PDZ-binding motif, leading to transcriptional upregulation of oncogenes such as Ctgf and Cyr61. Consequently, targeting the palmitoylation sites of TEAD has emerged as a promising strategy for treating TEAD-dependent cancers. Compound 1 was identified using a structure-based drug design approach, leveraging the molecular insights gained from the known TEAD palmitoylation site inhibitor, K-975. Optimization of the initial hit compound resulted in the development of compound 3, a covalent pan-TEAD inhibitor characterized by high potency and oral bioavailability.
