pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...

Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

C–H/π and C–H–O Interactions in Concert: A Study of the Anisole–Methane Complex using Resonant Ionization and Velocity Mapped Ion Imaging [PDF]
Noncovalent forces such as hydrogen bonding, halogen bonding, π–π stacking, and C–H/π and C–H/O interactions hold the key to such chemical processes as protein folding, molecular self-assembly, and drug–substrate interactions.
