Roles of Mso1 and the SM protein Sec1 in efficient vesicle fusion during fission yeast cytokinesis.

abstract：:Cysteine string protein (Csp) is essential for neurotransmitter release in Drosophila. It has been suggested that Csp functions by regulating the activity of presynaptic Ca2+ channels, thus controlling exocytosis. We have examined the effect of overexpressing Csp1 in PC12 cells, a neuroendocrine cell line. PC12 cell c...
