Plant exocyst complex Exo-70 subunits variants

 

Natalia Lorena Serrano Saavedra

Currently on the research stay in Dr Martin Potocky lab in the Institute of Experimental Botany, Czech Academy of Sciences

Polarized vesicular trafficking is essential for many vital processes in all eukaryotic cells. Membrane vesicles transporting cellular material are targeted to distinct endomembrane domains characterized by their specific lipid-protein composition. Principal cell polarity regulators in eukaryotes mediating the vesicle trafficking are the exocyst complex and the clathrin coat. In the first part of my talk, I will present our data on the molecular architecture of the plant exocyst complex and its recruitment to the plasma membrane. Our multidisciplinary approach has uncovered novel plant-specific features of the exocyst complex and emphasized the importance of the specific protein-lipid code to recruit peripheral membrane proteins. In the second part, I will focus on crosstalk between exocytosis and clathrin-mediated trafficking. I successfully purified and biochemically characterized clathrin-coated vesicles from plant cells. This represents the first step to get molecular insight into the mechanisms bridging the clathrin-coated vesicles and the exocyst complex. 

When?

The talk will be held on 20th April starts at 15:00.
