Also known as WW45WWP4salvador
Summary
SAV1 (salvador family WW domain containing protein 1, HGNC:17795) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 14q22.1, encoding Protein salvador homolog 1 (Q9H4B6). Regulator of STK3/MST2 and STK4/MST1 in the Hippo signaling pathway which plays a pivotal role in organ size control and tumor suppression by restricting proliferation and promoting apoptosis.
WW domain-containing proteins are found in all eukaryotes and play an important role in the regulation of a wide variety of cellular functions such as protein degradation, transcription, and RNA splicing. This gene encodes a protein with two WW domains, a SARAH domain, and a coiled-coil region and is ubiquitously expressed in adult tissues. This protein binds to MST1 (mammalian sterile 20-like kinase 1) and promotes MST1-induced apoptosis. It has also been shown to bind to HAX1 (hematopoietic cell-specific protein 1 (HS1)-associated protein X-1) and to attenuate the anti-apoptotic effects of HAX1. Studies in human and mouse suggest this gene acts as a tumor suppressor.

- Salvador gene is not frequently mutated in human carcinoma tissues. (PMID:12969014)

- Authors report that SAV1, a Hippo signaling component, inhibits Akt, a function independent of its role in Hippo signaling. Binding to a proline-tyrosine motif in the Akt-PH domain, SAV1 suppresses Akt activation by blocking Akt’s movement to plasma membrane.

Function. Regulator of STK3/MST2 and STK4/MST1 in the Hippo signaling pathway which plays a pivotal role in organ size control and tumor suppression by restricting proliferation and promoting apoptosis. The core of this pathway is composed of a kinase cascade wherein STK3/MST2 and STK4/MST1, in complex with its regulatory protein SAV1, phosphorylates and activates LATS1/2 in complex with its regulatory protein MOB1, which in turn phosphorylates and inactivates YAP1 oncoprotein and WWTR1/TAZ. Phosphorylation of YAP1 by LATS1/2 inhibits its translocation into the nucleus to regulate cellular genes important for cell proliferation, cell death, and cell migration. SAV1 is required for STK3/MST2 and STK4/MST1 activation and promotes cell-cycle exit and terminal differentiation in developing epithelial tissues. Plays a role in centrosome disjunction by regulating the localization of NEK2 to centrosomes, and its ability to phosphorylate CROCC and CEP250. In conjunction with STK3/MST2, activates the transcriptional activity of ESR1 through the modulation of its phosphorylation.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Stabilized through interaction with STK3/MST2 or STK4/MST1. Interacts (via SARAH domain) with isoform 1 of NEK2. Interacts with ESR1 only in the presence of STK3/MST2. Interacts with WTIP and AJUBA.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitously expressed in adult tissues with highest expression in the pancreas, aorta and interventricular septum and lowest expression in skeletal muscle. Expression was higher in fetal than in the adult heart. Expressed in various cell lines.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated by STK3/MST2 and STK4/MST1. Phosphorylation is not required for SAV1 stability and may increase the number of protein binding sites on the scaffold molecule.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 173 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
