Vesicle and target membrane fusion involves tethering, docking and fusion. The GTPase SECRETORY4 (SEC4) positions the exocyst complex during vesicle membrane tethering, facilitating docking and fusion. Glycine max (soybean) Sec4 functions in the root during its defense against the parasitic nematode Heterodera glycines as it attempts to develop a multinucleate nurse cell (syncytium) serving to nourish the nematode over its 30-day life cycle. Results indicate that other tethering proteins are also important for defense. The G. max exocyst is encoded by 61 genes: 5 EXOC1 (Sec3), 2 EXOC2 (Sec5), 5 EXOC3 (Sec6), 2 EXOC4 (Sec8), 2 EXOC5 (Sec10) 6 EXOC6 (Sec15), 31 EXOC7 (Exo70) and 8 EXOC8 (Exo84) genes. At least one member of each gene family is expressed within the syncytium during the defense response. Syncytium-expressed exocyst genes function in defense while some are under transcriptional regulation by mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). The exocyst component EXOC7-H4-1 is not expressed within the syncytium but functions in defense and is under MAPK regulation. The tethering stage of vesicle transport has been demonstrated to play an important role in defense in the G. max-H. glycines pathosystem, with some of the spatially and temporally regulated exocyst components under transcriptional control by MAPKs.

Article Synopsis
- LIF helps mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC) grow by activating STAT3, which then induces genes needed for their pluripotency.
- However, the ERK signaling pathway, also activated by LIF, can inhibit these pluripotent genes during cell growth.
- The research shows that STAT3 moves to multivesicular endosomes (MVEs) and gets modified in a way that helps maintain mESC self-renewal by balancing ERK and GSK3β signaling, with consequences observed in the hematopoietic system of mice.

The exocyst is a hetero-octameric complex that exhibits significant functional diversity in regulating biological processes and defense responses. In plants, the EXO70 proteins are important components of the exocyst complex and are involved in membrane trafficking, biotic and abiotic interactions, as well as cell wall formation. A previous study has indicated that a member of the EXO subfamily, EXO70E2, interacts with RIN4 to mediate plant immunity.

Background: Trastuzumab resistance is a serious clinical problem in the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer (BC). The lncRNA ZNF649-AS1 was previously found to promote HER2-positive BC trastuzumab resistance. The study aims to explore the molecular mechanism of ZNF649-AS1 in HER2-positive BC trastuzumab resistance.

Article Synopsis
- Exo70 is a vital component of the exocyst complex that aids in cancer cell movement and the remodeling of the extracellular matrix, making it a potential drug target in cancer treatment.
- Researchers found that Exo70 undergoes a specific modification called transamidation that enhances its interaction with other proteins necessary for cancer metastasis.
- Cantharidin, an FDA-approved drug, can inhibit this modification, which could help slow down tumor cell migration and invasion, particularly in cancers with inactivated LKB1.
