Inhibition of the Lysosomal Amino Acid Sensor SLC38A9 by the Membrane Microprotein SPAR

Long noncoding RNAs encode for microproteins that regulate cellular functions. Small regulatory peptide of amino acid response (SPAR) is a microprotein in the lysosome that responds to amino acid availability of the cell. In this study, we investigated the interactions between SPAR and SLC38A9, a lysosomal amino acid transporter and receptor involved in the mechanistic target of rapamycin 1…
