TLDR
A review of the progress and current strategies to directly and indirectly target the YAP1/TAZ protein-protein interaction (PPI) with TEAD1-4 across multiple modalities, with focus on recent small molecules able to selectively bind to TEAD, block its autopalmitoylation and inhibit YAP 1/TZ-dependent transcription in cancer as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
The Hippo pathway is an evolutionary conserved signaling network that regulates essential processes such as organ size, cell proliferation, migration, stemness and apoptosis. Alterations in this pathway are commonly found in solid tumors and can lead to hyperproliferation, resistance to chemotherapy, compensation for mKRAS and tumor immune evasion. As the terminal effectors of the Hippo pathway, the transcriptional coactivators YAP1/TAZ and the transcription factors TEAD1–4 present exciting opportunities to pharmacologically modulate the Hippo biology in cancer settings, inflammation and regenerative medicine. This review will provide an overview of the progress and current strategies to directly and indirectly target the YAP1/TAZ protein–protein interaction (PPI) with TEAD1–4 across multiple modalities, with focus on recent small molecules able to selectively bind to TEAD, block its autopalmitoylation and inhibit YAP1/TAZ–TEAD-dependent transcription in cancer.

Elucidation of a universal size-control mechanism in Drosophila and mammals.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a single phosphorylation site in Yki mediates the growth-suppressive output of the Hippo pathway, and that its dysregulation leads to tumorigenesis, uncovering a universal size-control mechanism in metazoan.

The Hippo Signaling Pathway Coordinately Regulates Cell Proliferation and Apoptosis by Inactivating Yorkie, the Drosophila Homolog of YAP

TL;DR: Yorkie (Yki), the Drosophila ortholog of the mammalian transcriptional coactivator yes-associated protein (YAP), is identified as a missing link between Wts and transcriptional regulation and is a critical target of the Wts/Lats protein kinase and a potential oncogene.
