Rab8a regulates the exocyst-mediated kiss-and-run discharge of the Dictyostelium contractile vacuole.

Molecular biology of the cell - 1 Apr 2012

Essid Miriam, Gopaldass Navin, Yoshida Kunito, Merrifield Christien, Soldati Thierry

Abstract excerpt

Water expulsion by the contractile vacuole (CV) in Dictyostelium is carried out by a giant kiss-and-run focal exocytic event during which the two membranes are only transiently connected but do not completely merge. We present a molecular dissection of the GTPase Rab8a and the exocyst complex in...
