Abstract:YAP1 and TEAD are transcriptional regulators involved in organ size control and cell proliferation. Aberrant activation of YAP1 has been reported for multiple tumor types and inhibiting the interaction of YAP1 with its partner protein TEAD is thought to be a means of targeting aberrant YAP1 activity. In order to identify small molecule inhibitors of YAP1 interaction with TEAD, we have performed a fragment-based-screening looking for ligands binding to TEAD at its interface with YAP1 (TEAD pocket S3). We have e… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
