Genome editing in the unicellular holozoan Capsaspora owczarzaki suggests a premetazoan role for the Hippo pathway in multicellular morphogenesis
J. E. Phillips, M. Santos, M. Kanchwala, C. Xing, D. Pan
This study uses genome editing in Capsaspora owczarzaki to show that the Hippo pathway ortholog coYki regulates cytoskeletal dynamics and multicellular shape, suggesting an ancestral role in multicellular morphogenesis.
