TEAD4 (216-434) COMPLEXED WITH YAP PEPTIDE (60-100) AND MYRISTOATE (COVALENTLY BOUND) AT 2.1A (P41212 CRYSTAL FORM)
Structural highlights
Function[TEAD4_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 non-cooperatively to the Sph and GT-IIC 'enhansons' (5'-GTGGAATGT-3') and activates transcription. Binds to the M-CAT motif.[1] [2] [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).[3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe YAP-TEAD protein-protein interaction is a potential therapeutic target to treat cancers in which the Hippo signaling pathway is deregulated. However, the extremely large surface of interaction between the two proteins presents a formidable challenge for a small molecule interaction disrupter approach. We have accomplished progress towards showing the feasibility of this approach by the identification of a 15-mer peptide able to potently (nanomolar range) disrupt the YAP-TEAD interaction by targeting only one of the two important sites of interaction. This peptide, incorporating non-natural amino acids selected by structure-based design, is derived from the Omega-loop sequence 85-99 of YAP.
