What you're looking at is one of the reasons pineapple hurts to eat. These needle-like crystals of calcium oxalate are called 'raphides' & they're designed to puncture your mouth & throat while digestive enzymes (papain & bromelain) break down your tissues. Pineapples are trying to eat *US*.

Seg-3 interacts with the RLC “latch”, which lies close but remains flexible. Phosphorylation of S19 here is predicted to disrupt this interaction through steric clash and charge repulsion, releasing the latch from its shutdown position. (4/11)

We identify the RLC “mortar”, where the Free Head RLC N-terminus stabilises the interface between the heads. The phosphorylation site S19 is exposed and accessible, suggesting phosphorylation disrupts this interaction. (3/11)
