Summary Table
| Drosophila melanogaster | Human ortholog(s) | Protein Description & Role in Hippo Signaling Pathway |
|---|---|---|
| Dachsous (Ds) | DCHS1, DCHS2 | Atypical cadherin that may act as a ligand for the Fat receptor |
| Fat (Ft) | FAT1, FAT2, FAT3, FAT4 (FATJ) | Atypical cadherin that may act as a receptor for the Hippo pathway |
| Expanded (Ex) | FRMD6/Willin | FERM domain-containing apical protein that associates with Kibra and Mer as an upstream regulator of the core kinase cascade |
| Dachs (Dachs) | Unconventional myosin that can bind Wts, promoting its degradation | |
| Kibra (Kibra) | WWC1 | WW domain-containing apical protein that associates with Ex and Mer as an upstream regulator of the core kinase cascade |
| Merlin (Mer) | NF2 | FERM domain-containing apical protein that associates with Ex and Kibra as an upstream regulator of the core kinase cascade |
| Hippo (Hpo) | MST1, MST2 | Sterile-20-type kinase that phosphorylates and activates Wts |
| Salvador (Sav) | WW45 (SAV1) | WW domain-containing protein that may act as a scaffold protein, facilitating Warts phosphorylation by Hippo |
| Warts (Wts) | LATS1, LATS2 | Nuclear DBF-2-related kinase that phosphorylates and inactivates Yki |
| Mob as tumor suppressor (Mats) | MOBKL1A, MOBKL1B | Kinase that associates with Wts to potentiate its catalytic activity |
| Yorkie (Yki) | YAP, TAZ | Transcriptional coactivator that binds to Sd in its active, unphosphorylated form to activate expression of transcriptional targets that promote cell growth, cell proliferation, and prevent apoptosis |
| Scalloped (Sd) | TEAD1, TEAD2, TEAD3, TEAD4 | Transcription factor that binds Yki to regulate target gene expression |

Famous quotes containing the words summary and/or table:
“I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“For the elemental creatures go
About my table to and fro,
That hurry from unmeasured mind
To rant and rage in flood and wind....
”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
