Exo70B2 functions as a exocyst subunit in secretion linked to immunity and autophagy (Plant Cell)
Plant Science Research WeeklyThe exocyst is a conserved protein complex that mediates tethering of secretory vesicle to the plasma membrane prior to SNARE-mediated membrane fusion. Exo70 is one of eight subunits and has expanded into 23 homologs in Arabidopsis. Brillada and Teh et al. identified Exo70B2 as a bona fide exocyst subunit…
