A TIAM Double Hit to Oppose YAP/TAZ

Publication date: 8 May 2017
Source:Cancer Cell, Volume 31, Issue 5
Author(s): Luca Azzolin, Stefano Piccolo
In this issue of Cancer Cell, Diamantopoulou et al. uncover dual mechanisms of inhibiting YAP/TAZ by TIAM1 that oppose invasiveness of colorectal cancer cells: TIAM1 interacts with TAZ in the cytoplasm to promote TAZ degradation by the destruction complex, whereas it antagonizes binding of TAZ/YAP to TEAD in the nucleus.
