Abstract excerpt
Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS) is characterized at the cellular level by a defect in the ability of cells to secrete lysosomes. However, the precise step affected in the secretion process is unclear. We characterized Dictyostelium discoideum cells containing a mutation in lvsB, the homolog of the human gene (LYST) involved in CHS. As observed in mammalian cells, secretion of lysosome-derived compartments was...
