YAP/TAZ Signaling Pathway in Neurodegeneration

🔬 Protein Info
Gene Symbolent-gene-a35fbac2
Subcellular Localization### Parkinson's Disease
Aβ-mediated inhibitionAβ oligomers suppress YAP/TAZ nuclear localization through multiple mechanisms
Hippo pathway dysregulationAβ activates MST1, increasing LATS1/2 activity and YAP/TAZ phosphorylation
Neuronal vulnerabilityYAP/TAZ promote neuronal survival; their inhibition increases vulnerability
Neurogenesis impairmentAdult hippocampal neurogenesis requires YAP/TAZ; AD pathology suppresses this
Tau pathology interactionTau can affect YAP/TAZ subcellular localization
Dopaminergic neuron survivalYAP activation protects SNc neurons from degeneration
α-Synuclein effectsα-Synuclein can sequester TAZ, impairing its function
Autophagy regulationTAZ promotes autophagy; loss contributes to protein aggregation
Mitochondrial functionYAP/TAZ influence mitochondrial dynamics and quality control
Therapeutic potentialYAP activators show promise in PD models
Motor neuron protectionYAP activation provides protection to motor neurons
TDP-43 pathologyYAP/TAZ can be sequestered by TDP-43 aggregates
Astrocyte reactivityYAP/TAZ in astrocytes modulate neuroinflammation
Regenerative potentialEnhancing YAP/TAZ may promote neural repair
