What it is
RNA-seq (gene expression)Gene activity measured by sequencing. The summary does not mention single-cell work, so this is most likely bulk: one average per sample, the usual starting point for comparing groups.
Organism
Homo sapiens (human)
Samples
12 samples: 3 × Control vs 3 × VN vs 3 × TN vs 3 × YAP5SAGroups are read from the sample names, not from the paper. Check the list below.
Data you can get
A processed table (series matrix) and supplementary files from NCBI; the raw sequencing reads from ENA. Which of these hold counts depends on the study, so check the file list.
Paper
VGLL2 and TEAD1 fusion proteins drive YAP/TAZ-independent tumorigenesis by engaging p300bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
The vestigial like family proteins (VGLL) are thought to regulate transcription by interacting with the TEA domain transcription factors (TEAD), the primary mediators of the Hippo pathway. However, the functional regulation of VGLL proteins remains poorly characterized. Here, we explored the molecular mechanism of two VGLL2 and TEAD1 fusion proteins generated by recurrent translocations in spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma.

We demonstrated that, compared to VGLL2 and TEAD1 alone, VGLL2-NCOA2 and TEAD1-NCOA2 act as strong transcriptional activators of TEAD-mediated transcription. Although VGLL2-NCOA2 and Yes1 associated transcriptional regulator (YAP) control overlapping transcriptional programs and chromatin landscapes, the downstream transcription induced by the fusion proteins does not require YAP and WW domain containing transcription regulator 1 (TAZ). Furthermore, VGLL2-NCOA2 and TEAD1-NCOA2 fusions engage distinct epigenetic regulation by recruiting E1A binding protein p300 (p300) to drive TEAD-dependent transcription. We showed that small molecule p300 inhibition can suppress VGLL2-NCOA2 and TEAD1-NCOA2-induced oncogenic transformation both in vitro and in vivo. Overall, our data reveal a tumorigenic mechanism of VGLL and TEAD fusion proteins that is related to the Hippo pathway but independent of YAP/TAZ, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies for tumors carrying VGLL, TEAD, or nuclear receptor coactivator (NCOA) gene rearrangements.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE260783_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: For RNA-seq the counts are usually a table among the supplementary files (look for 'counts', 'expression', 'FPKM' or 'TPM' in the file name). The series matrix of a sequencing study is sometimes nearly empty.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1083487 and SRA study SRP493179. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
3 × Control vs 3 × VN vs 3 × TN vs 3 × YAP5SA

Supports a between-group comparison across 12 samples.

How we read this: 4 replicated groups read from 12 sample titles; they account for 12 of them. These groups are guessed from the sample names, not taken from the paper, so check them against the sample list below before relying on them.
