pubmed:abstractText
The TAZ transcription co-activator promotes cell proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. TAZ is inhibited by the Hippo tumor suppressor pathway, which promotes TAZ cytoplasmic localization by phosphorylation. We report here that TAZ protein stability is controlled by a phosphodegron recognized by the F-box protein ?-TrCP and ubiquitylated by the SCF/CRL1(?-TrCP) E3 ligase. The interaction between TAZ and ?-TrCP is regulated by the Hippo pathway. Phosphorylation of a phosphodegron in TAZ by LATS primes it for further phosphorylation by CK1? and subsequent binding by ?-TrCP. Therefore, the Hippo pathway negatively regulates TAZ function by both limiting its nuclear accumulation and promoting its degradation. The phosphodegron-mediated TAZ degradation plays an important role in negatively regulating TAZ biological functions.
