Disease relevance of LATS2

 

High impact information on LATS2

  • Nocodazole, a microtubule poison that provokes centrosome/mitotic apparatus dysfunction, induces Lats2 translocation from centrosomes to the nucleus and p53 accumulation [6].
  • Abrogation of Lats2 promotes accumulation of polyploid cells upon exposure to nocodazole, which can be prevented by direct activation of p53 [6].
  • We describe the importance of Lats2 (Large Tumor Suppressor 2) in this checkpoint response [6].
  • A value of 1.3 times 10-minus 4 M at 25 degrees, pH 7.80, T/2 0.33 for the equilibrium constant (KPMP) for dissociation of pyridoxamine-P from D-serine apodehydratase was determined from the ratio of the equilibrium constant for dissociation of pyridoxal-P from holoenzyme to KX [7].
  • The mechanism of LATS2-mediated repression of AR activity appears to involve the inhibition of AR NH2- and COOH-terminal interaction [2].

Associations of LATS2 with chemical compounds

  • This investigation showed that the KPM residues in H2O and the SFKPM residues in DMSO exhibited an extended backbone conformation, whereas a twisted conformation was found in this region in TFE [10].
