The multi-domain scaffolding protein Scribble (Scrib) regulates cell polarity and growth signaling at cell-cell junctions. In epithelial cancers, Scrib mislocalization and overexpression paradoxically transform Scrib from a basolateral tumor suppressor to a cytosolic driver of tumorigenicity. To address the function of Scrib (mis)localization, a Scrib-HaloTag fusion was genome engineered in polarized epithelial cells. Expression of the epithelial to mesenchymal transcription factor Snail displaced Scrib-HaloTag from cell junctions, mirroring the mislocalization observed in cancers. Interestingly, Snail expression promotes Yes-associated protein-1 (YAP1) nuclear localization independent of hippo pathway-regulated YAP-S127 phosphorylation. Furthermore, Scrib HaloPROTAC degradation attenuates YAP1-Y357 phosphorylation. Halo-ligand affinity purification mass spectrometry analysis identified the Src family kinase YES1 as a mislocalized Scrib interaction partner, preferentially recruiting the kinase active and open global conformation (αC helix in). Altogether, mislocalized Scrib enhances YAP1 phosphorylation by scaffolding active YES1.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play pivotal roles in the development and progression of various diseases, including malignant tumors. However, the biological functions and the underlying mechanisms of many circRNAs remain elusive. In this study, we identified a novel circRNA, circTP63-N, generated through the splicing of exons 2-4 of the TP63 gene in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

The cornea, the anterior meniscus-shaped transparent and refractive structure of the eyeball, is the first mechanical barrier of the eye. Its functionality heavily relies on the health of its endothelium, its most posterior layer. The treatment of corneal endothelial cells (CECs) deficiency is allogeneic corneal graft using stored donor corneas.

Background: Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) regulates the survival, proliferation, and stemness of cells, and contributes to the development of metabolic dysfunction associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). However, the regulatory role of intestinal YAP1 in MAFLD still remains unclear.
Methods: Terminal ileal specimens were used to compare intestinal YAP1 activation in patients with and without MAFLD.

Article Synopsis
- Timely translation of maternal mRNA is crucial for oocyte maturation and embryonic development; PGC7 is identified as a key maternal factor in this process.
- PGC7 maintains AKT1 activity and promotes the phosphorylation of the translation inhibitor YBX1, crucial for maternal mRNA translation.
- The study reveals PGC7’s essential role in regulating the PGC7-AKT1-YBX1 axis, leading to enhanced translation of important maternal proteins like Cyclin B1 and YAP1 in mammalian oocytes.

Background: Radiotherapy is a major modality for esophageal cancer (ESCA) treatment, yet radioresistance severely hampers its therapeutic efficacy. Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 14 (USP14) is a novel deubiquitinase and can mediate cancer cells' response to irradiation, although the underlying mechanism remains unclear, including in ESCA.
Methods: To evaluate the expression of USP14 in ESCA tissues or cells, we used RNA-Seq, immunoblotting, co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), ubiquitination, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and immunofluorescence assays in this investigation.
