The molecular mechanism that regulates TMEM63B lipid scrambling
Researchers from the Institute of Science in Tokyo have discovered that TMEM63B, a mechanosensitive lipid scramblase, remains inactive due to an autoinhibitory domain in its C-terminal tail. However, changes to the Leu776 residue can deactivate this inhibition, leading to continuous lipid scrambling and disrupting normal phospholipid asymmetry.
