FIGURE 6:
Vesicle tracking in exocyst mutants reveals exocytic dynamics similar to that of endocytic mutants. (A) Top, vesicle trajectories in small-budded control and sec6-4 cells expressing mEos-Sec4. Lower (D = 0.01–0.03 μm2/s) and higher (D > 0.1 μm2/s) mobile vesicle trajectories are shown in cyan and magenta, respectively. Bottom, heat maps of D of exocytic vesicles in control and sec6-4 cells. Scale bar, log D values on the heat map. (B) Normalized histograms of log D of exocytic vesicles in control cells (black) and sec6-4 (blue) mutants. (C) Cumulative probability distributions of log D of exocytic vesicles in control cells (black) and sec6-4 (blue) mutants. (D) Average MSD curves for control cells (black) and sec6-4 mutants (blue). (E) Percentage of cells displaying interspersed endocytic and exocytic trafficking domains in different exocyst mutants. More than 100 small-budded cells were used for the control and each mutant in the statistics. The error bars indicate SE in B–D, and N is the number of trajectories.
