Exocyst structural changes associated with activation of tethering downstream of Rho/Cdc42 GTPases.
Title: Exocyst structural changes associated with activation of tethering downstream of Rho/Cdc42 GTPases.
Blocking actin-dependent delivery of secretory vesicles in act1-3 cells results in loss of Sec3p from the purified complex. The results are consistent with a model in which Sec3p and Exo70p can function exclusively on the plasma membrane while the other subunits are brought to them on secretory vesicles.
Title: Two subunits of the exocyst, Sec3p and Exo70p, can function exclusively on the plasma membrane.
Data indicate structural details of the interaction of exocyst complex Sec3p and Exo70p with lipid bilayers containing phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate (PIP2) by molecular dynamics simulations.
Title: Membrane targeting of the yeast exocyst complex.
Exo70p directly and specifically binds to the polarity determinant scaffold protein Bem1p. The interaction involves multiple domains of both Exo70p and Bem1p.
Title: Bem1p contributes to secretory pathway polarization through a direct interaction with Exo70p.
Data show that Exo70 has the biochemical properties expected of a direct effector for both Rho3 and Cdc42, and suggest that interaction with the Exo70 component of the exocyst is a key event in spatial regulation of exocytosis by Rho GTPases.
Title: The Exo70 subunit of the exocyst is an effector for both Cdc42 and Rho3 function in polarized exocytosis.
The results suggest that either Exo70p or Sec3p must associate with the plasma membrane for the exocyst to function as a vesicle tether.
Title: An internal domain of Exo70p is required for actin-independent localization and mediates assembly of specific exocyst components.
Exo70 mediates the assembly of the exocyst complex at the plasma membrane, which is a crucial step in the tethering of post-Golgi secretory vesicles for exocytosis.
Title: Exo70 interacts with phospholipids and mediates the targeting of the exocyst to the plasma membrane.
structure provides a first view of the Exo70 protein family and provides a framework to study the molecular function of this exocyst component
Title: Crystal structure of the S.cerevisiae exocyst component Exo70p.
The structure of the exocyst subunit Exo70p is presented.
Title: The structures of exocyst subunit Exo70p and the Exo84p C-terminal domains reveal a common motif.
Exo70p functions primarily at early stages of the cell cycle in Bgl2p vesicle secretion, which is critical for polarized cell growth.
Title: Exo70p mediates the secretion of specific exocytic vesicles at early stages of the cell cycle for polarized cell growth.
