High impact information on VTI1B

  • Synthetic defects suggested that Vti1p and Ent3p cooperate in transport from the trans-Golgi network to the prevacuolar endosome [1].
  • A human homolog can functionally replace the yeast vesicle-associated SNARE Vti1p in two vesicle transport pathways [2].
  • Amino acid exchanges in vti1 mutant alleles defective either in one or both trafficking steps cluster in this domain, suggesting that this structure is probably the binding site for effector proteins [2].
  • Green fluorescent protein-Nramp1 decorated macropinosomes and phagosomes, in addition to intracellular vesicular compartments positive for endosomal SNARE protein Vti1 or vacuolin, a marker of the exocytic pathway [3].
