Abstrakt:
Cell reproduction is a complex process involving whole cell structures and machineries in space and time, resulting in
regulated distribution of endomembranes, organelles, and genomes between daughter cells. Secretory pathways supported
by the activity of the Golgi apparatus play a crucial role in cytokinesis in plants. From the onset of phragmoplast initiation to
the maturation of the cell plate, delivery of secretory vesicles is necessary to sustain successful daughter cell separation.
Tethering of secretory vesicles at the plasma membrane is mediated by the evolutionarily conserved octameric exocyst
complex. Using proteomic and cytologic approaches, we show that EXO84b is a subunit of the plant exocyst. Arabidopsis
thaliana mutants for EXO84b are severely dwarfed and have compromised leaf epidermal cell and guard cell division. During
cytokinesis, green fluorescent protein–tagged exocyst subunits SEC6, SEC8, SEC15b, EXO70A1, and EXO84b exhibit
distinctive localization maxima at cell plate initiation and cell plate maturation, stages with a high demand for vesicle fusion.
Finally, we present data indicating a defect in cell plate assembly in the exo70A1 mutant. We conclude that the exocyst
complex is involved in secretory processes during cytokinesis in Arabidopsis cells, notably in cell plate initiation, cell plate
maturation, and formation of new primary cell wall.
