Project description:TAZ, also known as WWTR1, is the one of the effectors of Hippo pathway. With its paralog, YAP, TAZ promotes organ size growth as well as tumor metastasis. In human renal carcinoma cells, we found that TAZ-silencing induces resisntance toward erastin-induced ferroptosis. In this study, TAZ is silencing in clear cell carcinoma cell line RCC4 to elucidate the downstream targets that promotes the resistance toward erastin-induced ferroptosis.
Project description:We used adenoviral-mediated overexpression of MYC-BioID2, MYC-BioID2-SKI, MYC-BioID2-WWTR1 (TAZ) in human primary cardiac fibroblasts to elucidate the interaction between SKI and the Hippo signaling pathway. Original data is also available on the Global Proteome Machine (http://hs2.proteome.ca/tandem/thegpm_tandem.html). Datasets are identified as follows: GPM10000002938 and 2939 are untreated negative control cell lysates; GPM10000002941 and 2942 are "empty" MYC-BioID2 vector; GPM10000002943 and 2944 are MYC-BioID2-SKI; and GPM10000002944 and 2945 are MYC-BioID2-WWTR1(TAZ).

Project description:The transcriptional co-activator TAZ (WWTR1) plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression related to cell proliferation, differentiation, and tissue homeostasis, particularly within the Hippo signaling pathway. Since TAZ does not directly bind to DNA, it largely relies on its protein-protein interaction network to perform its functions, necessitating a detailed characterization of the TAZ interactome. To achieve this, a GFP-Nanotrap-based affinity purification approach combined with LC-MS/MS protein identification was employed to document a comprehensive list of both known and novel components of the TAZ interactome in myogenic cells.
Project description:MESH1 encodes for Metazoan SpoT Homolog 1, which is a homologue of bacterial SpoT that mediates bacterial stringent response. In human cells, we found that MESH1-silencing induces an extensive transcriptional response in clear cell carcinoma cell line RCC4 that partially overlap with mammalian cell integrated stress response (ISR), which ATF4 up-regulation is an essential branch of the response. In this study, the goal is to elucidate the role of ATF4 up-regulation in MESH1-silencing transcriptional response.
Project description:The transcriptional co-activator TAZ/WWTR1 plays a central role in the Hippo signaling pathway and acts as crucial mediator in maintaining organ size and tissue homeostasis. Changes in its activity can lead to diseases, including cancer, due to uncontrolled cell growth or aberrant cellular behavior. The aim of this study was to identify gene signatures that are specifically regulated by TAZ in human trophoblast cells. This was achieved by comparing JEG-3 wild-type and TAZ knockout choriocarcinoma cells, generated with CRISPR-Cas9 technology.
