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.

MAP4K Family Kinases Act in Parallel to MST1/2 to Activate LATS1/2 in the Hippo Pathway
ARTICLE Received 19 Jun 2015 | Accepted 13 Aug 2015 | Published 5 Oct 2015 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms9357 OPEN MAP4K family kinases act in parallel to MST1/2 to activate LATS1/2 in the Hippo pathway Zhipeng Meng1, Toshiro Moroishi1, Violaine Mottier-Pavie2, Steven W. Plouffe1, Carsten G. Hansen1, Audrey W. Hong1, Hyun Woo Park1, Jung-Soon Mo1, Wenqi Lu1, Shicong Lu1, Fabian Flores1, Fa-Xing Yu3, Georg Halder2 & Kun-Liang Guan1 The Hippo pathway plays a central role in tissue homoeostasis, and its dysregulation contributes to tumorigenesis. Core components of the Hippo pathway include a kinase cascade of MST1/2 and LATS1/2 and the transcription co-activators YAP/TAZ. In response to stimulation, LATS1/2 phosphorylate and inhibit YAP/TAZ, the main effectors of the Hippo pathway. Accumulating evidence suggests that MST1/2 are not required for the regulation of YAP/TAZ. Here we show that deletion of LATS1/2 but not MST1/2 abolishes YAP/TAZ phosphorylation. We have identiﬁed MAP4K family members—Drosophila Happyhour homologues MAP4K1/2/3 and Misshapen homologues MAP4K4/6/7—as direct LATS1/2-activating kinases. Combined deletion of MAP4Ks and MST1/2, but neither alone, suppresses phosphorylation of LATS1/2 and YAP/TAZ in response to a wide range of signals. Our results demonstrate that MAP4Ks act in parallel to and are partially redundant with MST1/2 in the regulation of LATS1/2 and YAP/TAZ, and establish MAP4Ks as components of the expanded Hippo pathway. 1 Department of Pharmacology and Moores Cancer Center, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, California 92093, USA.

Abstract: Oncogenic RAS (Rat sarcoma) mutations drive more than half of human cancers, and RAS inhibition is the holy grail of oncology. Thirty years of relentless efforts and harsh disappointments have taught us about the intricacies of oncogenic RAS signalling that allow us to now get a pharma- cological grip on this elusive protein. The inhibition of effector pathways, such as the RAF-MEK-ERK pathway, has largely proven disappointing. Thus far, most of these efforts were aimed at blocking the activation of ERK. Here, we discuss RAF-dependent pathways that are regulated through RAF functions independent of catalytic activity and their potential role as targets to block oncogenic RAS signalling. We focus on the now well documented roles of RAF kinase-independent functions in apoptosis, cell cycle progression and cell migration.

Chang 2 , and Anwesha Dey 1 ABSTRACT Hippo pathway dysregulation occurs in multiple cancers through genetic and non- genetic alterations, resulting in translocation of YAP to the nucleus and activation of the TEAD family of transcription factors. Unlike other oncogenic pathways such as RAS, defi ning tumors that are Hippo pathway–dependent is far more complex due to the lack of hotspot genetic alterations. Here, we developed a machine-learning framework to identify a robust, cancer type–agnostic gene expression signature to quantitate Hippo pathway activity and cross-talk as well as predict YAP/TEAD dependency across cancers. Further, through chemical genetic interaction screens and multiomics analyses, we discover a direct interaction between MAPK signaling and TEAD stability such that knockdown of YAP combined with MEK inhibition results in robust inhibition of tumor cell growth in Hippo dysregulated tumors. This multifaceted approach underscores how computational models combined with experimental studies can inform precision medicine approaches including predictive diagnostics and combination strategies. SIGNIFICANCE: An integrated chemicogenomics strategy was developed to identify a lineage- independent signature for the Hippo pathway in cancers.

Egfrviii and Pten Deletion Mutations Influence Genotype-Dependent Kinome Activation
EGFRvIII and Pten Deletion Mutations Influence Genotype-Dependent Kinome Activation in Immortalized Murine Astrocyte Models of Glioblastoma Madison Butler C. Ryan Miller Lab Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant primary brain tumor. Receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) pathways are frequently mutated in GBM, including alterations in the RTK Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR). Moreover, EGFR variant III (EGFRvIII) is the most common activating mutation in GBM. Given its frequency, specificity, and role in promoting gliomagenesis, EGFR dysfunction is a prime target for drug treatment. However, multiple resistance mechanisms, such as co-occurrence of EGFRvIII and deletion of the tumor suppressor PTEN, prevent effective treatment via activation of alternate kinase pathways. To observe the differential kinase activation involved in EGFRvIII- and PTEN loss- driven gliomagenesis and identify potential kinase targets for dual therapy, we examined immortalized murine astrocytes derived from non-germline genetically engineered mouse models expressing four core genotypes: wild-type EGFR + wild- type Pten (C), wild-type EGFR + Pten deletion (CP), EGFRvIII + wild-type Pten (CEv3), and EGFRvIII + Pten deletion (CEv3P). We used RNA sequencing and multiplexed inhibitor bead affinity chromatography and mass spectrometry (MIB-MS) to determine the baseline transcriptomes and kinomes of each genotype. We determined that cell lines exhibited genotype- dependent baseline RNA expression and kinase activity as a result of EGFRvIII and/or Pten deletion relative to C astrocytes and across genotypes. We observed several differentially- activated kinases that represent potential targets for dual treatment with EGFR TKI. We are currently examining changes in the kinome profile of each cell line after both acute and chronic treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI).

Here, we carry out whole-exome and transcriptome sequencing of a multi-institutional cohort of MTSCC (n = 22). We demonstrate the presence of either biallelic loss of Hippo pathway tumor sup- pressor genes (TSG) and/or evidence of alteration of Hippo pathway genes in 85% of samples. PTPN14 (31%) and NF2 (22%) were the most commonly implicated Hippo pathway genes, whereas other genes such as SAV1 and HIPK2 were also involved in a mutually exclusive fashion. Mutations in the context of recurrent chromosomal losses amounted to biallelic alterations in these TSGs. As a readout of Hippo pathway inactivation, a majority of cases (90%) exhibited increased nuclear YAP1 protein expression.

SAV1 Promotes Hippo Kinase Activation Through Antagonizing the PP2A Phosphatase STRIPAK
RESEARCH ARTICLE SAV1 promotes Hippo kinase activation through antagonizing the PP2A phosphatase STRIPAK Sung Jun Bae1†, Lisheng Ni1†, Adam Osinski1, Diana R Tomchick2, Chad A Brautigam2,3, Xuelian Luo1,2* 1Department of Pharmacology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, United States; 2Department of Biophysics, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, United States; 3Department of Microbiology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, United States Abstract The Hippo pathway controls tissue growth and homeostasis through a central MST- LATS kinase cascade. The scaffold protein SAV1 promotes the activation of this kinase cascade, but the molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Here, we discover SAV1-mediated inhibition of the PP2A complex STRIPAKSLMAP as a key mechanism of MST1/2 activation. SLMAP binding to autophosphorylated MST2 linker recruits STRIPAK and promotes PP2A-mediated dephosphorylation of MST2 at the activation loop. Our structural and biochemical studies reveal that SAV1 and MST2 heterodimerize through their SARAH domains. Two SAV1–MST2 heterodimers further dimerize through SAV1 WW domains to form a heterotetramer, in which MST2 undergoes trans-autophosphorylation. SAV1 directly binds to STRIPAK and inhibits its phosphatase activity, protecting MST2 activation-loop phosphorylation. Genetic ablation of SLMAP in human cells leads to spontaneous activation of the Hippo pathway and alleviates the need for SAV1 in Hippo signaling. Thus, SAV1 promotes Hippo activation through counteracting the STRIPAKSLMAP PP2A *For correspondence: phosphatase complex.
