Abstract

The transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ), which is encoded by the WWTR1 gene, is a key transcriptional effector of the Hippo signaling pathway. TAZ function has been implicated in a variety of developmental processesand diseases, most notably in drivingoncogenesis. Given that nuclear-cytoplasmic localization dynamics dictate TAZ activity, techniques for visualizing TAZ localization are critical for its study. Here we describe an immunofluorescence microscopy protocol that allows for the visualization of TAZ subcellular localization in mammalian cells, offering an approach that can aid in the analysis of TAZ regulation and function.
