Summary

EXOC5 (exocyst complex component 5, HGNC:10696) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 14q22.3, encoding Exocyst complex component 5 (O00471). Component of the exocyst complex involved in the docking of exocytic vesicles with fusion sites on the plasma membrane. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 48.8% of cell lines).

The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the exocyst complex, a multiple protein complex essential for targeting exocytic vesicles to specific docking sites on the plasma membrane. Though best characterized in yeast, the component proteins and functions of exocyst complex have been demonstrated to be highly conserved in higher eukaryotes. At least eight components of the exocyst complex, including this protein, are found to interact with the actin cytoskeletal remodeling and vesicle transport machinery. The complex is also essential for the biogenesis of epithelial cell surface polarity.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 7)

  • Data show that GTP-bound ARF6 interacts with Sec10, a subunit of the exocyst complex involved in docking of vesicles with the plasma membrane. (PMID:14662749)
  • The exocyst protein Sec10 regulates primary ciliogenesis. (PMID:19297529)
  • Exocyst Sec10 overexpression reduces damage to tubular epithelial barriers caused by hydrogen peroxide and speeds the recovery of normal epithelial barrier function after such an injury. (PMID:20053792)
  • These data confirm that the exocyst is preferentially involved in basolateral protein translation and translocation, and may well act through the phosphorylation of Sec61beta. (PMID:23037926)
  • Suggest that the exocyst sec10, acting through EGFR, endocytosis, and the MAPK pathway is a candidate therapeutic target for acute kidney injury. (PMID:25298525)
  • show that EXOC5 mRNA almost completely rescues the ciliary phenotypes in exoc5-mutant zebrafish, unlike the EXOC5CTS-m mRNA, which could not efficiently rescue the phenotypes (PMID:30824539)
  • The EXOC5 knockdown increases ARF6 levels and decreases EPS8L2 levels, and that EXOC5 overexpression increases EPS8L2. (PMID:31694916)
