Sorting nexin 9 (SNX9) is a member of the sorting nexin family of proteins and plays a critical role in clathrinmediated endocytosis. It has a Bin-Amphiphysin-Rvs (BAR) domain which can form a crescent-shaped homodimer structure that induces deformation of the plasma membrane. While other BAR-domain containing proteins such as amphiphysin and endophilin have an amphiphatic helix in front of the BAR domain which plays a critical role in membrane penetration, SNX9 does not. Thus, whether and how SNX9 BAR domain could induce the deformation of the plasma membrane is not clear. The present study identified the internal putative amphiphatic stretch in the $1^{st}$ ${\alpha}$-helix of the SNX9 BAR domain and proved that together with the N-terminal helix ($H_0$) region, this internal putative amphiphatic stretch is critical for inducing membrane tubulation. Therefore, our study shows that SNX9 uses a unique mechanism to induce the tubulation of the plasma membrane which mediates proper membrane deformation during clathrinmediated endocytosis.

We study the positive $C^1$ function z = f(x, y) defined on the plane ${\mathbb{R}}^2$. For a rectangular domain $[a,b]{\times}[c,d]{\subset}{\mathbb{R}}^2$, we consider the volume V and the surface area S of the graph of z = f(x, y) over the domain. We also denote by (${\bar{x}}_V,\;{\bar{y}}_V,\;{\bar{z}}_V$) and (${\bar{x}}_S,\;{\bar{y}}_S,\;{\bar{z}}_S$) the geometric centroid of the volume under the graph of z = f(x, y) and the centroid of the graph itself defined on the rectangular domain, respectively. In this paper, first we show that among nonconstant $C^2$ functions with isolated singularities, S = kV, $k{\in}{\mathbb{R}}$ characterizes the family of catenary rotation surfaces f(x, y) = k cosh(r/k), $r={\mid}(x,y){\mid}$. Next, we show that one of $({\bar{x}}_S,\;{\bar{y}}_S)=({\bar{x}}_V,\;{\bar{y}}_V)$, $({\bar{x}}_S,\;{\bar{z}}_S)=({\bar{x}}_V,\;2{\bar{z}}_V)$ and $({\bar{y}}_S,\;{\bar{z}}_S)=({\bar{y}}_V,\;2{\bar{z}}_V)$ characterizes the family of catenary rotation surfaces among nonconstant $C^2$ functions with isolated singularities.

Let D be an integral domain, and let ${\bar{D}}$ be the integral closure of D. We show that if D is an almost pseudo-valuation domain (APVD), then D is a quasi-$Pr{\ddot{u}}fer$ domain if and only if D=P is a quasi-$Pr{\ddot{u}}fer$ domain for each prime ideal P of D, if and only if ${\bar{D}}$ is a valuation domain. We also show that D(X), the Nagata ring of D, is a locally APVD if and only if D is a locally APVD and ${\bar{D}}$ is a $Pr{\ddot{u}}fer$ domain.

Let $R={\oplus}_{{\alpha}{\in}{\Gamma}}R_{\alpha}$ be an integral domain graded by an arbitrary torsionless grading monoid ${\Gamma}$, ${\bar{R}}$ be the integral closure of R, H be the set of nonzero homogeneous elements of R, C(f) be the fractional ideal of R generated by the homogeneous components of $f{\in}R_H$, and $N(H)=\{f{\in}R{\mid}C(f)_v=R\}$. Let $R_H$ be a UFD. We say that a nonzero prime ideal Q of R is an upper to zero in R if $Q=fR_H{\cap}R$ for some $f{\in}R$ and that R is a graded UMT-domain if each upper to zero in R is a maximal t-ideal. In this paper, we study several ring-theoretic properties of graded UMT-domains. Among other things, we prove that if R has a unit of nonzero degree, then R is a graded UMT-domain if and only if every prime ideal of $R_{N(H)}$ is extended from a homogeneous ideal of R, if and only if ${\bar{R}}_{H{\backslash}Q}$ is a graded-$Pr{\ddot{u}}fer$ domain for all homogeneous maximal t-ideals Q of R, if and only if ${\bar{R}}_{N(H)}$ is a $Pr{\ddot{u}}fer$ domain, if and only if R is a UMT-domain.

Let D be an integral domain with quotient field K, $\bar{D}$ denote the integral closure of D in K and * be a star-operation on D. In this paper, we study the *-Nagata ring of AP*MDs. More precisely, we show that D is an AP*MD and $D[X]{\subseteq}\bar{D}[X]$ is a root extension if and only if the *-Nagata ring $D[X]_{N_*}$ is an AB-domain, if and only if $D[X]_{N_*}$ is an AP-domain. We also prove that D is a P*MD if and only if D is an integrally closed AP*MD, if and only if D is a root closed AP*MD.

Let $D \subset C^n$ be a smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domain and let ${\bar{D}_r}_r$ be a family of smooth perturbations of $\bar{D}$ such that $\bar{D} \subset \bar{D}_r$. Let $K_D(z, w)$ be the Bergman kernel function on $D \times D$. Then $lim_{r \to 0} K_{D_r}(z, w) = K_D(z, w)$ locally uniformally on $D \times D$.
