DLG1 and cancer: Loss or reduced expression of components of the cell junction-localized cell polarity protein complexes, including the scaffold proteins Scribble (SCRIB) or CRUMBS or of the members of the discs large homolog family (DLG1 or 5), as is frequently observed in cancer, inhibits MST/LATS/YAP interaction, resulting in YAP nuclear translocation, TEAD and SMAD activation and, eventually, the induction of EMT and cancer cell stemness [126,132,133].
