The Hippo signaling pathway is an intracellular kinase cascade in which
hpo kinase in complex with
sav, phosphorylates
wts kinase which, in turn, phosphorylates
yki transcriptional co-activator leading to its cytosolic retention. Negative regulators of the pathway promote the nuclear accumulation of
yki, enhancing
yki-mediated transcriptional regulation and the expression of genes that positively regulate tissue growth (Adapted from
