AmotS176A but not AmotS176E is required for formation of the nuclear Yap-Tead complex.
HEK293-shAmot cells were co-transfected with Amot-WT or Amot-p130S176A or Amot-p130S176E. Total lysates (Input) and Pan-Tead or YAP IPs were subjected to immunoblot analysis with anti-Pan-Tead or anti-YAP antibodies, as indicated. The blots shown are representative of three independent biological replicates. (B) ChIP analysis of HEK293T-shAmot cells transfected with Amot-WT, Amot-p130S176A or an empty vector control. Real-time quantitative PCR was performed in eluted DNA using primers targeting the promoter regions of ApoE and Areg. See Table 2. The data show the means ±s.e.m. from three independent biological replicates (n = 3). Individual pairwise comparisons were assessed by Student's t-test, **p<0.01; ***p<0.001; n.s. – non-significant. Exact p-values are indicated in the figure. (C) Proposed model for YAP-Merlin complex regulation by AmotS176. Hypophosphorylation of AmotS176 promotes translocation of the Amot-p130/YAP/Merlin complex from the cytoplasm to the nucleus where it binds to TEADs and activates YAP-dependent transcriptional programs. Conversely, phosphorylation of AmotS176 induces cytoplasmic sequestration and plasma membrane localization of the tertiary complex. At the membrane, the complex associates with the junctional proteins Patj and Pals1 and YAP’s nuclear functions are inhibited. S176 in blue indicates phosphorylation.
