WWTR1 and Epstein-Barr virus infection: Interestingly, however, as shown in Fig 11, we did not find that EBV infection of NOKs cells affected the level of LATS1 phosphorylation (a modification which increases LATS1 function and thus leads to decreased YAP/TAZ phosphorylation), suggesting that EBV acts to inhibit YAP/TAZ phosphorylation through some other mechanism.
