Growing, splitting and stacking myosin II filaments   pp77 - 79
Margaret A. Titus
doi:10.1038/ncb3468
Spectacular images of the process of myosin II filament formation and organization in migrating cells are unveiled by super-resolution imaging. A combination of short- and long-range interactions with actin filaments is seen to play a critical role in filament partitioning and alignment into contractile actin arcs and stress fibres.

CPEB4 links the clock and the UPR to protect the liver   pp79 - 81
Paul C. Moore and Scott A. Oakes
doi:10.1038/ncb3460
Under misfolded protein stress, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) activates the unfolded protein response (UPR) to restore homeostasis, or commits the cell to apoptosis. A study now uncovers how the UPR is governed by the circadian clock to adjust ER protein-folding capacity to metabolic demand and protect against liver damage.

Lnc-ing ROR1–HER3 and Hippo signalling in metastasis   pp81 - 83
Wei Zhuo and Yibin Kang
doi:10.1038/ncb3467
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are increasingly recognized for their role in cancer progression. The previously uncharacterized lncRNA MAYA is now shown to promote bone metastasis by bridging ROR1–HER3 and Hippo–YAP pathways. Neuregulin-induced HER3 phosphorylation by ROR1 recruits a MAYA-containing protein complex to methylate Hippo/MST1 and activate YAP target genes that are essential for bone metastasis.

Actin dynamics and competition for myosin monomer govern the sequential amplification of myosin filaments   pp85 - 93
Jordan R. Beach, Kyle S. Bruun, Lin Shao, Dong Li, Zac Swider et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3463
Using structured illumination microscopy, Beach et al. and Hu et al. visualize the assembly of myosin II filaments in cells, describing a filament-partitioning mechanism, and long-range self-organization of filaments, respectively.

Circadian- and UPR-dependent control of CPEB4 mediates a translational response to counteract hepatic steatosis under ER stress   pp94 - 105
Carlos Maillo, Judit Martín, David Sebastián, Maribel Hernández-Alvarez, Mar García-Rocha et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3461
Maillo et al. show that in hepatocytes ER stress upregulates CPEB4 through the UPR and circadian clock, leading to CPEB4-mediated translation for mitochondrial and ER homeostasis. CPEB4 loss leads to ageing- and high fat diet-induced liver steatosis.

A ROR1–HER3–lncRNA signalling axis modulates the Hippo–YAP pathway to regulate bone metastasis   pp106 - 119
Chunlai Li, Shouyu Wang, Zhen Xing, Aifu Lin, Ke Liang et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3464
Li et al. show that ROR1–HER3 receptor tyrosine kinase signalling in breast cancer cells inhibits the MST1/2 Hippo pathway kinases through a lncRNA termed MAYA. The resulting activation of YAP promotes osteoclast differentiation for bone metastasis.

Phenotypic heterogeneity of disseminated tumour cells is preset by primary tumour hypoxic microenvironments   pp120 - 132
Georg Fluegen, Alvaro Avivar-Valderas, Yarong Wang, Michael R. Padgen, James K. Williams et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3465
Aguirre-Ghiso and colleagues report that hypoxia in the primary tumour microenvironment leads to upregulation of a dormancy signature in the tumour cells that persists after their dissemination to distant sites, permitting them to evade therapy.
