Description:
Article The phosphatidylserine receptor PSR-1 has been proposed to mediate recognition of apoptotic cells by phagocytes; however, this function has been contested. Yang et al. identify a lysine-rich motif in C . elegans PSR-1 that binds phosphatidylserine, and show that this motif is required for its phagocytic function.
