YAP
target of the Hippo-Warts pathway - ortholog of the mammalian transcriptional coactivator yes-associated protein - transcriptional coactivator that negatively regulates cell-cycle and cell-death regulators - fold formation at the compartment boundary of Drosophila wing requires Yki signaling to suppress JNK dependent apoptosis

Interacts (via WW domains) with wts (PubMed:16096061). Interacts (via N-terminus) with sd (via C-terminus) and this interaction enhances the transcriptional activity of sd (PubMed:18313299). The phosphorylated form interacts with 14-3-3epsilon and 14-3-3zeta (PubMed:18256197). Interacts with Ack and ex (PubMed:27462444).
Its activity is regulated by multiple phosphorylation events (PubMed:16096061, PubMed:18256197, PubMed:19900439, PubMed:31857346). Phosphorylation at Ser-88, Ser-145 and Ser-227 negatively regulate its activity and restrict its nuclear localization (PubMed:19900439). Wts-mediated phosphorylation at Ser-145 promotes interaction with 14-3-3epsilon and 14-3-3zeta (PubMed:18256197). Phosphorylation at Ser-88 and Ser-227 regulate nuclear localization and activity independent of 14-3-3 association (PubMed:19900439). Phosphorylation at Ser-146 by Cdk7 promotes its stability by preventing ubiquitination by the DCX(DCAF12) complex (PubMed:31857346).
Ubiquitinated by the DCX(DCAF12) complex, leading to its degradation (PubMed:31857346). Phosphorylation at Ser-146 by Cdk7 prevents ubiquitination by the DCX(DCAF12) complex (PubMed:31857346).

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).
Comment: maternally deposited
yki is expressed in glial cells in the central brain, the ventral nerve cord, the eye disc, and the optic stalk in larval eye discs.

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see JBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.
New stable cell line derived from S2-unspecified : S2 cells were stably transfected with yki and sd constructs.
New stable cell line derived from S2-unspecified : Stable S2-yki-SBP and S2-bon-SBP cell lines were created, which are S2 cells containing streptavidin-binding peptide (SBP)-flagged yki or bon. The S2 cells were obtained from the laboratory of Spyros Artavanis-Tsakonas.
yki promotes transcription by recruiting a histone methyltransferase complex.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.

This gene is named "yorkie" after Yorkshire Terriers, one of the World's smallest breeds of pet dogs, according to its loss-of-function phenotype.
