Yes

YES1, a Src family non-receptor tyrosine kinase, regulates adhesion, motility, survival, mitosis, viability, growth, cell-cycle progression, and genomic stability in cancer models[1]. Mechanistically, YES1 connects tyrosine kinase signaling with the Hippo-YAP1 axis, because YES1 phosphorylation of YAP1 supports a β-catenin-YAP1-TBX5 transcriptional complex required for β-catenin-driven cancer survival[2]. In lung cancer models, YES1 or YAP1 overexpression promoted EGF-independent growth and resistance to EGFR or ALK inhibitors, while dual inhibition of the primary driver and YES1 restored sensitivity[3]. In triple-negative breast cancer, sustained YES1 expression supported viability and growth, whereas YES1 loss increased apoptosis, G2/M delay, micronucleation, multinucleation, dysmorphic nuclei, and γ-H2AX staining[1]. Compared with SRC, YES1 showed divergent endothelial signaling: YES1 activation blunted cytomix-induced ERK signaling and increased apoptosis, whereas SRC activated PI3K-Akt-ERK signaling and attenuated apoptosis[4]. For experimental applications, NXP900/eCF506 inhibited YES1 at 0.47 nM, locked SRC-family kinases in a closed conformation, reduced YAP1 nuclear localization, and inhibited proliferation in NSCLC, ESCC, FAT1-mutated xenograft, and endocrine-resistant breast cancer models[1].
