title: Two Sec13p homologs, AtSec13A and AtSec13B, redundantly contribute to the formation of COPII transport vesicles in Arabidopsis thaliana.
abstract: COPII vesicles mediate protein transport from ER to Golgi. Sec13 makes up lattice structure with Sec31 to form COPII vesicles. We analyzed expression of two Arabidopsis thaliana Sec13 homologs, AtSec13A and AtSec13B. AtSec13A was expressed in most parts of seedlings, while AtSec13B was partially expressed. Interaction of AtSec13A or AtSec13B with Sec31 homolog was demonstrated by bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC).
