Vesicular pseudopodia define the fusion site on large secretory vesicles of the Drosophila salivary glands

Nadav Scher, Tom Biton, Vishnu Mohan, Neta Varsano, Noa Aharoni, Shari Carmon, Kamalesh Kumari, Eyal D. Schejter, Tamar Geiger, Yael Elbaz‐Alon, Ori Avinoam

The paper identifies vesicular pseudopodia as fusion sites on large secretory vesicles in Drosophila salivary glands and shows their coordination with apical domains for efficient exocytosis.
