Disease
[TEAD1_HUMAN] Defects in TEAD1 are the cause of Sveinsson chorioretinal atrophy (SCRA) [MIM:108985]; also known as atrophia areata (AA) or helicoidal peripapillary chorioretinal degeneration (HPCD). SCRA is characterized by symmetrical lesions radiating from the optic disk involving the retina and the choroid.[1] [2] [3]
Function
[TEAD1_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 specifically and cooperatively to the SPH and GT-IIC 'enhansons' (5'-GTGGAATGT-3') and activates transcription in vivo in a cell-specific manner. The activation function appears to be mediated by a limiting cell-specific transcriptional intermediary factor (TIF). Involved in cardiac development. Binds to the M-CAT motif.[4] [5] [YAP1_HUMAN] Transcriptional regulator which can act both as a coactivator and a corepressor and is the critical downstream regulatory target 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. Plays a key role to control cell proliferation in response to cell contact. Phosphorylation of YAP1 by LATS1/2 inhibits its translocation into the nucleus to regulate cellular genes important for cell proliferation, cell death, and cell migration. The presence of TEAD transcription factors are required for it to stimulate gene expression, cell growth, anchorage-independent growth, and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) induction. Isoform 2 and isoform 3 can activate the C-terminal fragment (CTF) of ERBB4 (isoform 3).[6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Four TEAD transcription factors (TEAD1-4) mediate the signaling output of the Hippo pathway that controls organ size in humans. TEAD transcriptional activity is regulated via interactions with the YAP, TAZ and VGLL proteins. A mutation in the TEAD1 gene, Tyr421His, has been identified in patients suffering from Sveinsson's chorioretinal atrophy (SCA), an autosomal dominant eye disease. This mutation prevents the YAP/TAZ:TEAD1 interaction. In this study, we measure the affinity of YAP, TAZ and VGLL1 for the four human TEADs and find that they have a similar affinity for all TEADs. We quantitate the effect of the mutation found in SCA patients and show that it destabilizes the YAP/TAZ:TEAD interaction by about 3 kcal/mol. We determine the structure of YAP in complex with this mutant form of TEAD and show that the histidine residue adopts different conformations at the binding interface. The presence of this flexible residue induces the destabilization of several H-bonds and the loss of van der Waals contacts, which explains why the Tyr421His(TEAD) (1) mutation has such a large destabilizing effect on the formation of the YAP:TEAD complex.
