ASPP2 is an important tumor suppressor protein promoting p53-dependent and-independent apoptosis. However, it has been unclear how ASPP2 protein is regulated. Here, we identified Itch as the E3 ubiquitin ligase for ASPP2. Itch interacts with ASPP2 and mediates its degradation and ubiquitination in vivo. The PPXY motif of ASPP2 interacts with the WW domains of Itch. Yap1 competes with Itch for binding to ASPP2, and prevents Itch-mediated degradation and ubiquitination of ASPP2. Together, these observations reveal that Itch and Yap1 have antagonistic roles in the regulation of ASPP2 protein stability through competing post-translational regulatory mechanism of ASPP2.

Alkaliptosis is a type of pH-dependent cell death and plays an emerging role in tumor suppression. However, the key modulation mechanism of alkaliptosis remains largely unknown. In particular, the nucleus, as the centre of genetic and metabolic regulation, is crucial for the regulation of cellular life.

Osteoporosis is the most prevailing primary bone disease and a growing health care burden. The aim of this study was to clarify the functional roles and mechanisms of the circ-ITCH regulating osteogenic differentiation of osteoporosis. Circ-ITCH and yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) levels were downregulated, but the miR-214 level was upregulated in osteoporotic mice and patients.

Acute renal injury (AKI) causes a long-term risk for progressing into chronic kidney disease (CKD) and interstitial fibrosis. Yes-associated protein (YAP), a key transcriptional cofactor in Hippo signaling pathway, shuttles between the cytoplasm and nucleus, which is required for the renal tubular epithelial cells repair in the acute phase of AKI. In this study we investigated the role of YAP during ischemia-reperfusion (IR)-induced AKI to CKD.

Yes-associated protein (YAP) is a component of the canonical Hippo signaling pathway that is known to play essential roles in modulating organ size, development, and tumorigenesis. Activation or upregulation of YAP1, which contributes to cancer cell survival and chemoresistance, has been verified in different types of human cancers. However, the molecular mechanism of YAP1 upregulation in cancer is still unclear.

Precise control of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) differentiation is critical for tissue development and regeneration. We show here that kindlin-2 is a key determinant of MSC fate decision. Depletion of kindlin-2 in MSCs is sufficient to induce adipogenesis and inhibit osteogenesis in vitro and in vivo.
