The exocyst plays a crucial role in the targeting of secretory vesicles to the plasma membrane during exocytosis. It has been shown to be involved in diverse cellular processes including yeast budding. However, the mechanism of the exocyst regulating yeast budding has not been fully elucidated. Here we report a novel interaction between the exocyst component Sec15 and the Ras-family GTPase Rsr1, a master regulator of bud-site-selection system, in the fungus Candida albicans. We present several lines of evidence indicating physical and genetic interaction of Sec15 with Rsr1. In vitro binding assays and co-immunoprecipitation studies showed that Sec15 associated physically with Rsr1. Deletion of RSR1 completely abolished the polarised localisation of Sec15 as well as all the other exocyst components in both yeast and hyphal cells, suggesting a functional interaction between Sec15 and Rsr1. We also show that C. albicans Sec15 interacts directly with the polarity determinant Bem1 and the type V myosin, Myo2. Disruption of the interaction by shutting off SEC15 results in mislocaliztion of Bem1-GFP. These findings highlight the important role of Sec15 in polarised cell growth by providing a direct functional link between bud-site-selection and exocytosis.

The Sur7/PalI family transmembrane protein Tos7 (Yol019w) plays a role in secretion in budding yeast.

Authors:
Jing Zhu Zhi-Wen Jia Chen-Yang Xia Xiang-Dong Gao

Tos7 (Yol019w) is a Sur7/PalI family transmembrane protein in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Since the deletion of TOS7 did not affect growth or cell morphology, the cellular roles of Tos7 have not been established previously. Here, we show that high-copy TOS7 expression suppressed the growth defect of the secretion-defective RGA1-C term-overexpressing mutant and sec15-1 mutant. Read More

Exocyst components promote an incompatible interaction between Glycine max (soybean) and Heterodera glycines (the soybean cyst nematode).

Authors:
Keshav Sharma Prakash M Niraula Hallie A Troell Mandeep Adhikari Hamdan Ali Alshehri Nadim W Alkharouf Kathy S Lawrence Vincent P Klink

Sci Rep 2020 09 14;10(1):15003. Epub 2020 Sep 14.

Department of Biological Sciences, Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, MS, 39762, USA.

Vesicle and target membrane fusion involves tethering, docking and fusion. The GTPase SECRETORY4 (SEC4) positions the exocyst complex during vesicle membrane tethering, facilitating docking and fusion. Glycine max (soybean) Sec4 functions in the root during its defense against the parasitic nematode Heterodera glycines as it attempts to develop a multinucleate nurse cell (syncytium) serving to nourish the nematode over its 30-day life cycle.

Roles of the PH, coiled-coil and SAM domains of the yeast polarity protein Boi2 in polarity-site localization and function in polarized growth.

Authors:
Zhi-Wen Jia Si-Xu Lv Jing Zhu Chen-Yang Xia Xiang-Dong Gao

Curr Genet 2020 Dec 12;66(6):1101-1115. Epub 2020 Jul 12.

Hubei Key Laboratory of Cell Homeostasis, College of Life Sciences, Wuhan University, Wuhan, 430072, China.

Boi1 and Boi2 are paralogous proteins essential for bud formation in budding yeast. So far, the domains that target Boi1/Boi2 to the polarity sites and function in bud formation are not well understood. Here, we report that a coiled-coil domain of Boi2 cooperates with the adjacent PH domain to confer Boi2's bud-cortex localization and major function in cell growth. Read More

Exocyst Genes Are Essential for Recycling Membrane Proteins and Maintaining Slit Diaphragm in Nephrocytes.

Background: Studies have linked mutations in genes encoding the eight-protein exocyst protein complex to kidney disease, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. Because nephrocytes share molecular and structural features with mammalian podocytes, they provide an efficient model for studying this issue.

Methods: We silenced genes encoding exocyst complex proteins specifically in nephrocytes and studied the effects on protein reabsorption by lacuna channels and filtration by the slit diaphragm. Read More

Developmental expression, co-localization and genetic interaction of exocyst component Sec15 with Rab11 during Drosophila development.

Cytogenetics Laboratory, Department of Zoology, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, 221 005, India.

Sec15, a component of an evolutionarily conserved octomeric exocyst complex, has been identified as an interactor of GTP-bound Rab11 in mammals and Drosophila which shows its role in secretion in yeast and intracellular vesicle transport. Here, we report the expression patterns of Drosophila Sec15 (DSec15) transcript and Sec15 protein during Drosophila development. At early embryonic stages, a profound level of maternally loaded DSec15 transcript and protein is found. Read More
