VPS35 (Vps35p) peripherally associates with a membranous particulate cell fraction in yeast and is required for sorting of carboxypeptidase Y (CPY) to the vacuole; null mutants cause selective missorting and secretion of CPY but not other vacuolar hydrolases, indicating alternative sorting pathways exist. |
