Abstract excerpt
Despite our general understanding of membrane traffic, the molecular machinery at the immunological synapse (IS) that regulates exocytosis of lytic granules from cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) remains elusive. The identification of disease-causing mutations in the small GTPase Rab27a, priming factor Munc13-4 and fusion protein syntaxin11 has defined an important role for these proteins in CTL exocytosis. In...
