Abstract excerpt
The highly conserved exocyst complex of eukaryotic cells allows the polarized transport and fusion of late secretory vesicles with the plasma membrane. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae the Sec6p component of the exocyst complex is essential for cell growth. The sec6-4 temperature-sensitive mutation of the S. cerevisiae SEC6 gene leads to the accumulation of large amounts of mature late post-Golgi secretory vesicles in...
