YAP/TEAD are nuclear effectors of the Hippo pathway, regulating organ size and tumorigenesis largely through promoter-associated function. However, their function as enhancer regulators remains poorly understood. Through an in vivo proximity-dependent labeling (BioID) technique, we identified YAP1 and TEAD4 protein as co-regulators of ER alpha on enhancers. The binding of YAP1/TEAD4 to ER alpha-bound enhancers is augmented upon E-2 stimulation and is required for the induction of E-2/ER alpha target genes and E-2-induced oncogenic cell growth. Furthermore, their enhancer binding is a prerequisite for enhancer activation marked by eRNA transcription and for the recruitment of the enhancer activation machinery component MED1. The binding of TEAD4 on active ERE-containing enhancers is independent of its DNA-binding behavior, and instead, occurs through protein-tethering trans-binding. Our data reveal a non-canonical function of YAP1 and TEAD4 as ER alpha cofactors in regulating cancer growth, highlighting the potential of YAP/TEAD as possible actionable drug targets for ER alpha(+) breast cancer.
