Abstract excerpt
The cortical endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an intricate network of tubules and cisternae tightly associated with the plasma membrane (PM) in plants, yeast, and the excitable cell types in metazoans [1-5]. How the ER is attached to the cell cortex and what necessitates its highly reticulated architecture remain largely unknown. Here, we identify the integral ER vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated...
