Abstract excerpt
Dictyostelium RacH localizes predominantly to membranes of the nuclear envelope, endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. To investigate the role of this protein, we generated knockout and overexpressor strains. RacH-deficient cells displayed 50% reduced fluid-phase uptake and a moderate exocytosis defect, but phagocytosis was unaffected. Detailed examination of the endocytic pathway revealed defective...
