The amino acid transporter complex LAT1-4F2hc is considered a major drug target for many cancers. Here, the authors apply native mass spectrometry-based approaches to decode a complete LAT1-4F2hc assembly. To do this, they connect post-translational modification and endogenous phospholipid binding to super-dimerization, function and localisation of LAT1-4F2hc.
