Rab11 in recycling endosomes regulates the sorting and basolateral transport of E-cadherin.

abstract：:Long-distance transport is crucial for polar-growing cells, such as neurons and fungal hyphae. Kinesins and myosins participate in this process, but their functional interplay is poorly understood. Here, we investigate the role of kinesin motors in hyphal growth of the plant pathogen Ustilago maydis. Although the micr...
