Abstract excerpt
The vertebrate synaptotagmin-like protein granuphilin binds to the vesicle-trafficking proteins Rab27a and Munc18 and can modulate exocytosis of insulin-containing secretory granules in pancreatic beta cell lines. Here, we report the molecular and genetic characterization of bitesize, a granuphilin homolog and the only Drosophila synaptotagmin-like protein. Mutations that affect bitesize have reduced cell size...
