Polarized exocytosis is a fundamental process by which membranes and cargo proteins are delivered to the cell surface with precise spatial control. Although the need for the octameric exocyst complex is conserved from yeast to humans, what imparts spatial control is known only in yeast, i.e., a polarity scaffold called Bem1p. We demonstrate here that the mammalian scaffold protein, GIV/Girdin, fulfills the key criteria and functions of its yeast counterpart Bem1p; both bind Exo70 proteins via si ...[more]
