Abstract When cells with excess DNA, such as tetraploid cells, undergo cell division, it can contribute to cellular transformation via asymmetrical chromosome segregation-generated genetic diversity. Cell cycle progression of tetraploid cells is suppressed by large tumor suppressor 2 (LATS2) kinase-induced inhibitory phosphorylation of the transcriptional coactivator Yes-associated protein (YAP). We recently reported that the oncogene v-Src induces tetraploidy and promotes cell cycle progression of tetraploid cells by suppressing LATS2 activity. We explore here the mechanism by which v-Src suppresses LATS2 activity and the role of LATS2 in v-Src-expressing cells. LATS2 was directly phosphorylated by v-Src and the proto-oncogene c-Src, resulting in decreased LATS2 kinase activity. This kinase-deficient LATS2 accumulated in a YAP transcriptional activity-dependent manner, and knockdown of either LATS2 or the LATS2-binding partner moesin-ezrin-radixin-like protein (Merlin) accelerated v-Src-induced membrane bleb formation. Upon v-Src expression, the interaction of Merlin with LATS2 was increased possibly due to a decrease in Merlin phosphorylation at Ser518, the dephosphorylation of which is required for the open conformation of Merlin and interaction with LATS2. LATS2 was colocalized with Merlin at the plasma membrane in a manner that depends on the Merlin-binding region of LATS2. The bleb formation in v-Src-expressing and LATS2-knockdown cells was rescued by the reexpression of wild-type or kinase-dead LATS2 but not the LATS2 mutant lacking the Merlin-binding region. These results suggest that the kinase-deficient LATS2 plays a role with Merlin at the plasma membrane in the maintenance of cortical rigidity in v-Src-expressing cells, which may cause tumor suppression.
