Endocytosis and exocytosis in hyphal growth

摘要: Abstract Two ancient processes, endocytosis and exocytosis, are employed by eukaryotic cells to shape their plasma membrane interact with environment. Filamentous fungi have adapted them roles compatible unique ecological niche morphology. These organisms optimal systems in which address questions such as how is localized, exocytosis interact, large molecules traverse cell walls. In the tips of filamentous (hyphal) cells, a ring encircles an apical crescent suggesting that this area able support endocytic recycling route, although both processes can occur subapical regions well. Endocytosis underlie growth, but also facilitate disease progression secretion industrially relevant compounds these organisms. Here we highlight recent work on fungi.
