Published: September 2017

The Yes‐associated protein (YAP) is an important transcriptional co‐activator that mediates the cellular response to mechanical and cytoskeletal cues. In two recent papers published in , Dae‐Sik Lim and colleagues show how YAP activity affects cancer formation and metastasis via a crosstalk with myocardin‐related transcription factors (MRTFs; Kim , 2017) and SKP2‐dependent cell cycle progression (Jang , 2017).
