Generation of a serine/threonine-protein kinase LATS1 gene-edited iPSC MUSIi012-A-3.

Abstract

In mammals, there are a number of kinases, including serine/threonine-protein kinase LATS1, that act as a core kinase of the Hippo pathway and that negatively regulate the Hippo effector protein YAP and its paralog TAZ. Using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, we established a stable LATS1 knockdown (LATS1-KD) iPSC from the MUSIi012-A cell line. The LATS1-KD iPSC MUSIi012-A-3 that was developed maintained both the normal karyotype and the pluripotent phenotype, and retained the ability to differentiate into all three embryonic germ layers.
