Essential for eukaryotic organisms, multiple copies of the exocyst complex tether each secretory vesicle to plasma membrane (PM) in constitutive exocytosis. The higher-order structure (ExHOS) that coordinates action these exocysts remains unexplored. We integrated particle-tracking, super-resolution microscopy and cryo-electron tomography a model time-resolves continuum conformational landscape ExHOS functionally annotates its different conformations. found 7 form flexible ring-shaped...

Abstract Multisubunit Tethering Complexes (MTCs) are a set of conserved protein complexes that tether vesicles at the acceptor membrane. Interactions with other components trafficking machinery regulate MTCs through mechanisms partially understood. Here, we systematically investigate interactome regulates MTCs. We report P4‐ATPases, family lipid flippases, interact participate in anterograde and retrograde transport Golgi, such as TRAPPIII. use P4‐ATPase Drs2 paradigm to mechanism biological...

Abstract Summary Structural knowledge of protein assemblies in their physiological environment is paramount to understand cellular functions at the molecular level. Protein interactions from Imaging Complexes after Translocation (PICT) a live-cell imaging technique for structural characterization macromolecular living cells. PICT relies on measurement separation between labelled molecules using fluorescence microscopy and cell engineering. Unfortunately, required computational tools extract...

The human interactome is composed of around half a million interactions according to recent estimations and it only for small fraction those that three-dimensional structural information available. Indeed, the coverage very low given complexity time-consuming requirements solving protein structures this problem will remain foreseeable future. Structural models, or predictions, complexes can provide valuable when experimentally determined 3D are not Here we present CM2D3, relational database...

ABSTRACT Although the structure of exocyst has been successfully resolved by cryo-electron microscopy, multiple studies showed that function requires transient interaction with additional proteins. Unfortunately, exocyst-interacting network could not be collectively reconstituted, challenging understanding how complex is coordinated within proteins involved in exocytosis. In a previous work, we described an approach combines Protein interactions from Imaging Complexes after Translocation...

Autophagy requires a tightly controlled and adjustable subcellular distribution of Atg9. Although the machinery that regulates transport Atg9-positive vesicles has attracted much interest, mechanism controlling Atg9 trafficking beyond standard laboratory conditions remains poorly understood. Recently, we demonstrated lipid flippase Drs2 participates in to phagophore assembly site, this function becomes necessary as temperature drops. Drs2, through an I(S/R)TTK motif nested conserved...
