STRIPAK Is a Regulatory Hub Initiating Hippo Signaling

Signaling modules that integrate the diverse extra- and intracellular inputs to the Hippo pathway were previously unknown. By biochemical and molecular interrogation, Chen et al. established a molecular framework, the RhoA-RHPN-NF2/Kibra-STRIPAK axis, that regulates the status of Hippo core kinases and connects upstream signals to initiate and orchestrate the Hippo pathway.
