Abstract

Li et al. identify a key role of Lats1/2 kinases during intestinal homeostasis for maintaining Wnt pathway activity and intestinal stem cells. Using a selective small-molecule inhibitor of TEAD auto-palmitoylation, they reveal both TEAD-dependent and independent transcriptional regulation downstream of YAP/TAZ in intestinal epithelium.
