The coupling of endocytosis and exocytosis underlies fundamental biological
processes ranging from fertilization to neuronal activity and cellular polarity.
However, the mechanisms governing the spatial organization of endocytosis and
exocytosis require clarification. Using a quantitative imaging-based screen in
budding yeast, we identified 89 mutants displaying defects in the localization of
either one or both pathways. High-resolution single-vesicle tracking revealed
that the endocytic and exocytic mutants she4∆ and bud6∆ alter post-Golgi vesicle
dynamics in opposite ways. The endocytic and exocytic pathways display strong
interdependence during polarity establishment while being more independent during
polarity maintenance. Systems analysis identified the exocyst complex as a key
network hub, rich in genetic interactions with endocytic and exocytic components.
Exocyst mutants displayed altered endocytic and post-Golgi vesicle dynamics and
interspersed endocytic and exocytic domains compared with control cells. These
data are consistent with an important role for the exocyst in coordinating
endocytosis and exocytosis.
