An Exocyst Vesicle Tethering Complex in Plants

Tethering factors are a large group of proteins that function in secretory membrane trafficking (reviewed in Sztul and Lupashin, 2006; Cai et al., 2007). Animal cells contain two types of tethering factors: proteins with extensive coiled-coil domains and large multisubunit complexes. Both types interact with SNAREs and small GTPases involved in vesicular trafficking, and they appear to form connections between vesicles and endomembrane compartments and to play a role in vesicle targeting and docking. The exocyst complex is one of eight types of multisubunit tethering complexes that have been described, and it functions preferentially in plasma membrane trafficking of vesicles carrying cargo ...
