The Trypanosome Exocyst: A Conserved Structure Revealing a New Role in Endocytosis.

Membrane transport is an essential component of pathogenesis for most infectious organisms. In African trypanosomes, transport to and from the plasma membrane is closely coupled to immune evasion and antigenic variation. In mammals and fungi an octameric exocyst complex mediates late steps in exocyt...
