Abstract

This protocol describes a method to directly measure LATS activity by an in vitro kinase assay using YAP as a substrate.

Keywords: LATS (LATS（大肿瘤抑制因子）) search Phosphorylation (磷酸化) search in vitro kinase assay (体外激酶活性检测) search Hippo pathway (Hippo信号通路) search YAP (YAP) search

Background

Large tumor suppressor 1/2 (LATS1/2) are protein kinases and core components of the Hippo pathway, which regulates organ size and tissue homeostasis. LATS kinase is activated by phosphorylation on its hydrophobic motif (HM, Thr 1079 for LATS1 and Thr 1041 for LATS2). As a result, Western blotting with phosphoantibody recognizing LATS at HM provides an indirect way to assess LATS kinase activity (Data analysis, Figure 1). In addition, active LATS phosphorylates and inhibits the transcription co-activator Yes-associated protein (YAP) at Ser 127, leading to YAP binding to 14-3-3 and cytoplasmic retention (Zhao et al., 2007). Using YAP as a substrate in LATS in vitro kinase assay provides a method to directly assess LATS kinase activity. Through this assay, we were able to show that serum starvation and sorbitol-induced osmotic activate LATS (Yu et al., 2012; Hong et al., 2017) and further lead to YAP Ser 127 phosphorylation (Data analysis, Figure 2).
