DepHining membrane identity

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: How do organelles coordinate their unique molecular identities between their cytosolic-facing surface membranes and their interior? In this issue, Naufer et al. (2017. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201702179) discover an intriguing link between phagosome acidification and lipid signposts on their outer membrane.
