Abstract
The exocyst complex is a multisubunit tethering complex (MTC) for secretory vesicles at the plasma membrane and contains eight subunits, Sec3, Sec5, Sec6, Sec8, Sec10, Sec15, Exo70, and Exo84. While the exocyst complex is well defined in eukaryotes from yeast to humans, the exocyst components in filamentous fungi show different localization patterns in the apical tips of hyphae, which suggests that filamentous fungi have evolved divergent strategies to regulate endomembrane trafficking.
