Review: The exocyst complex is targeted by pathogen effectors
Plant Science Research WeeklyThe exocyst complex is a conserved octameric protein complex in eukaryotic cells. Its primary function is to tether secretory vesicles to the plasma membrane during the exocytosis process, and it is also involved in autophagy and host-pathogen interactions. Intriguingly, EXO70, one of the subunits of…
The Plant Cell in a Nutshell: The dance of the vesicles
The Plant Cell: In a NutshellYan and co-workers follow the localization of various membrane proteins upon blocking clathrin- and adaptor protein-mediated membrane trafficking, and reveal that blocking endocytosis reduces exocytosis (and vice-versa). https://doi.org/10.1093/plcell/koab180
