Subcellular targeting of proteins is essential to orchestrate cytokinesis in eukaryotic cells. During cell division of <i>Ustilago maydis</i>, for example, chitinases must be specifically targeted to the fragmentation zone at the site of cell division to degrade remnant chitin and thus separate mother and daughter cells. Chitinase Cts1 is exported to this location via an unconventional secretion pathway putatively operating in a lock-type manner. The underlying mechanism is largely unexplored. H ...[more]
