Abstract excerpt
Highly polarized exocytosis of vesicles at hyphal apices is an essential requirement of tip growth. This requirement may be met by the localization and/or activation of an apical SNARE-based machinery. We have cloned nsyn1 and nsyn2, SNAREs predicted to function at the plasma membrane in Neurospora crassa. Transformation of extra copies of nsyn1 into wild-type strains displayed effects consistent with quelling of...
