YAP1 maintains active chromatin state in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas that promotes tumorigenesis through cooperation with BRD4
Summary: Analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas and other published data of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) reveals somatic alterations of the Hippo-YAP pathway in approximately 50% of HNSCC.Better strategies to target the YAP1 transcriptional complex are sought.Here, we show that FAT1, an upstream inhibitor of YAP1, is mutated either by
