Vesicle Docking to the Spindle Pole Body Is Necessary to Recruit the Exocyst During Membrane Formation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
The meiosis II outer plaque (MOP) acts a vesicle tethering complex that is a site for de novo membrane formation. Novel mutants in a MOP protein reveal that interaction of vesicles with the MOP surface is required to recruit a second tethering complex, the exocyst, to the vesicles, suggesting a mechanism by which the MOP promotes vesicle fusion
