Abstract excerpt
The function of endosomes critically depends on their ion homeostasis. A crucial role of luminal Cl-, in addition to that of H+, is increasingly recognized. Both ions are transported by five distinct endolysosomal CLC chloride/proton exchangers. Dysfunction of each of these transporters entails severe disease. Here we identified TMEM9 and TMEM9B as obligatory β-subunits for endosomal ClC-3, ClC-4, and ClC-5. Mice...
