Our new paper on exocyst recruitment to the plasma membrane is out in PNAS

Happy to present our new PNAS paper, showing the architecture of plant exocyst complex and the mechanism of its membrane recruitment. In plants, a single subunit EXO70A1 is doing the job via interactions with multiple lipids.
