Figure 1.
With immunoprecipitation, Western blots, genetic reporters and
fluorescence microscopy – it was shown that the transcription
factors from the Hippo signaling pathway YAP/TAZ are associated
with the Wnt destruction complex, and translocate to the nuclei
of cells when key components of Wnt destruction complex are
missing 2
Figure 2.
With immunoprecipitation, Western blots, genetic reporters,
siRNAs and fluorescence microscopy – it was shown that
Wnt signaling causes dissociation of YAP/TAZ from the Wnt
destruction complex, and association of co-receptor LRP6
with Axin1 (stimulated by Wnt ligand) is synchronous with
dissociation and translocation of YAP/TAZ to the nucleus.
Reporter shows they can turn on Hippo signaling. 3
Figure 4.
With immunoprecipitation, Western blots, genetic reporters,
siRNAs and fluorescence microscopy – it was shown that
YAP/TAZ recruite ubiquitin ligase (β-TrCP) to the Wnt
destruction complex, and when YAP/TAZ are knocked down
with siRNAs this causes unphosphorylated β-Catenin to
translocate to the nucleus.

Tumor necrosis factor alpha
TNFα is a signaling protein that is
involved in systemic inflammation
and is a primary regulator of cells
of the immune system.
