LATS2 activity depends on Ser872 and Thr1041 phosphorylation in the T-loop and HM.
The Hippo kinases MST1/2 phosphorylate LATS2 on Thr1041 in the HM, but not Ser872.
LATS2 activation requires binding of MOB1 to the N-terminal regulatory region.
Constitutively hyperactive LATS2-PIF functions independently of MOB1 binding.
LATS2-PIF phosphorylates and inhibits YAP1 independently of stable YAP1 binding.
