The molecular mechanisms of the mammalian exocyst complex in exocytosis.
Exocytosis is a highly ordered vesicle trafficking pathway that targets proteins to the plasma membrane for membrane addition or secretion. Research over the years has discovered many proteins that participate at various stages in the mammalian exocytotic pathway. At the early stage of exocytosis, co-atomer proteins and their respective adaptors and GTPases have been shown to play a role in the...
متن کاملThe exocyst complex in polarized exocytosis.
The exocyst is an octameric protein complex, which mediates the tethering of post-Golgi secretory vesicles to the plasma membrane before exocytic fusion. The exocyst assembles by side-by-side packing of rod-shaped subunits composed of helical bundles. The targeting of secretory vesicles to the plasma membrane involves direct interactions of the exocyst with PI(4,5)P(2). In addition, a number of...
متن کاملSubunit structure of the mammalian exocyst complex.
The exocyst is a protein complex required for the late stages of secretion in yeast. Unlike the SNAREs (SNAP receptors), important secretory proteins that are broadly distributed on the target membrane, the exocyst is specifically located at sites of vesicle fusion. We have isolated cDNAs encoding the rexo70, rsec5, and rsec15 subunits of the mammalian complex. The amino acid sequences encoded ...
متن کامل2-Methoxyestradiol, an endogenous mammalian metabolite, inhibits tubulin polymerization by interacting at the colchicine site.
A metabolite of estradiol, 2-methoxyestradiol (2ME), inhibits angiogenesis in the chicken embryo chorioallantoic membrane assay. Since 2ME causes mitotic perturbations, we examined its interactions with tubulin. In our standard 1.0 M glutamate system (plus 1.0 mM MgCl2 at 37 degrees C), superstoichiometric concentrations (relative to tubulin) of 2ME inhibited the nucleation and propagation phas...
متن کاملSec3-containing Exocyst Complex Is Required for Desmosome Assembly in Mammalian Epithelial Cells
The Exocyst is a conserved multisubunit complex involved in the docking of post-Golgi transport vesicles to sites of membrane remodeling during cellular processes such as polarization, migration, and division. In mammalian epithelial cells, Exocyst complexes are recruited to nascent sites of cell-cell contact in response to E-cadherin-mediated adhesive interactions, and this event is an importa...
