Inner cell mass (ICM) cells of the mouse blastocyst are maintained in a pluripotent state through E-cadherin interactions with trophectoderm cells that activate the Hippo kinase cascade and repress the function of Yap/Taz as transcriptional regulators of Cdx2.

Constitutively active Ras proteins (RasD) 

Replacement of the normal glycine 12 with any other amino acid (except proline) blocks the functional binding of GAP proteins and in essence “locks” Ras in the active GTP-bound state.
