Project description:We performed a CRISPR-based functional genetic screen targeting TEAD4 binding motif located within the YAP-bound enhancers. The screen identified seven functional enhancers whose targeting resulted in a marked negative effect on the proliferation of MCF10A-YAP-5SA cells (overexpressed constrictively activated YAP) but no significant effect on MCF10A (parental control) cells. We then carried out RNA-seq analysis on MCF10A-YAP-5SA cells transduced with sgRNA vectors targeting these seven enhancers (enhancers A, B, C, D, E, F, G) as well as the non-targeting sgRNA as control (NT).
Project description:To understand the direct target genes YAP transcription co-activator invovled with in gonome-wide levels, next generation sequencing was conducted in Flag-YAP-5SA overexpressing MCF10A cells using Flag (sigma) antibody.
Project description:Aim of the study was to elucidate YAP-regulated trophoblast-specific genes by analyzing differentially-expressed gene signatures between first trimester human cytotrophoblasts (vCTBs) transfected with a YAP-5SA mutant or a control plasmid.
Project description:To investigate whether YAP upregulates MYC via miRNA repression, we sequenced miRNAs from gastric epithelial cells (HFE-145) either expressed with vector or YAP-5SA.
Project description:This study compares gene expression change upon expression of Yes-associated protein (YAP) wild-type or mutants in order to establish the importance of TEAD binding and WW domains in the gene-induction function of YAP. The results indicate that gene-induction is seriously comprised in YAP-S94A (TEAD binding domain mutant) expressing cells. And mutantion of WW domains (YAP-W1W2) also affect a fraction of YAP induced genes. Therefore both TEAD binding domain and WW domains are required for the full function of YAP in gene-induction. Experiment Overall Design: Four samples are included: 1. pQCXIH vector control; 2 YAP-WT expression; 3. YAP-S94A expression; 4. YAP-W1W2 expression. Gene expression profiles of YAP wild-type or mutants expressing cells were compared to that of vector control. Experiments were done in MCF10A mammary epithelial cells.
Project description:To identify YAP binding partners potentially involved in mechanotransduction, we performed a YAP co-IP/MS experiment using sparsely or densely plated MCF10A cells.
Project description:RNA from cell lines derived from YAP-S127A, YAP-5SA and TAZ-S89A mouse liver tumors. The "SAMPLE_ID" sample characteristic is a sample identifier internal to Genentech. The ID of this project in Genentech's ExpressionPlot database is PRJ0014900
