of cell proliferation and apoptosis. How this pathway triggers cell apoptosis remains largely
unexplored. Here, we identify NR4A1 as a target of the Hippo pathway that mediates the pro-
apoptotic and anti-tumor effects of the Hippo pathway whereby YAP regulates the
transcription, phosphorylation, and mitochondrial localization of NR4A1. NR4A1, in turn,
functions as a feedback inhibitor of YAP to promote its degradation, thereby inhibiting the …
