Low pH-induced conformational change and dimerization of sortilin triggers endocytosed ligand release

Sortilin is an endocytosis receptor with a luminal β-propeller domain. Here the authors present the structures of the β-propeller domain at neutral and acidic pH, which reveal that sortilin dimerises and undergoes conformational changes at low pH and further propose a model for low pH-induced ligand...
