YAP (65kD Yes-associated Protein, YAP65)

YAP (Yes-associated protein, YAP65) was identified based on its ability to associate with the SH3 domain of Yes. It also binds to other SH3 domain-containing proteins such as Nck, Crk, Src, and Abl (1). In addition to the SH3 binding motif, YAP contains a PDZ interaction motif, a coiled-coil domain, and WW domains (2-4). While initial studies of YAP all pointed towards a role in anchoring and targeting to specific subcellular compartments, subsequent studies showed that YAP is a transcriptional co-activator by virtue of its WW domain interacting with the PY motif (PPxY) of the transcription factor PEBP2 and other transcription factors (5,6). Upon phosphorylation at Ser127, YAP interacts with 14-3-3 in an Akt-dependent manner and suppresses p73-mediated apoptosis (6).\n\nApplications: \nSuitable for use in Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation and Immunohistochemistry.
