YAP1 and infection: Western blot analysis showed that the phosphorylation of Yki in hemocytes was significantly reduced at 3 and 6 h poststimulation with WSSV and poly(I·C) (Fig. 4A), and correspondingly, the translocation of Yki from cytoplasm to nucleus was increased, especially at 6 h post-WSSV infection, which was 7.7-fold that of the control (Fig. 4B).
