Document Summary

Drosophila sec5, sec6 and sec15 tethers de-cad vesicles originating from the re to lateral membrane for exocytosis. Sec10 at pm and arm act as a landmark for de-cad delivery. In the absence of sec5, sec6 and sec15 function, de-cad accumulates in an enlarged re. Key experiment sec5 mutant notum cells generated using flp/frt were analyzed for different intracellular markers to investigate the nature of the enlarged intracellular compartment. Golgi marker lava lamp, late endosome marker hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate, early endosome marker rab5 was distributed normally in mutant cells. But rab11 distribution was disrupted in mutant cells: they were found in large punctate structures with higher intensity of rab11 and colocalized with. Additional re maker nuclear fallout confirmed this result. This shows sec5 is necessary for the recycling of de-cad from re to the lateral membrane. Investigate possible interaction between components of the exocyst complex with the cell cytoskeleton.
