What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Transcriptional coactivator which acts as a 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 (PubMed:11118213, PubMed:37215988). 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 (By similarity). WWTR1 enhances PAX8 and NKX2-1/TTF1-dependent gene activation (By similarity). In conjunction with YAP1, involved in the…

Subunit structure

Binds to SLC9A3R2 via the PDZ motif at the plasma membrane (PubMed:11118213). Binds to YWHAZ in vivo and in vitro through the phosphoserine-binding motif RSHSSP (PubMed:11118213). Interacts (via coiled-coil domain) with SMAD2 (via MH1 domain), SMAD3 and SMAD4 (By similarity). Interacts with MED15 (By similarity). Interacts with PAX8 and NKX2-1 (By similarity). Interacts with TEAD1, TEAD2, TEAD3…
