14-3-3 Proteins are thought to function as adapters in signaling complexes [1,2], thereby participating in cellular processes including vesicle trafficking and exocytosis [3,4]. To delineate further the function of 14-3-3 proteins during vesicle trafficking, we generated dominant-negative alleles of the two 14-3-3 homologues, Bmh1p and Bmh2p, in budding yeast and analyzed their phenotype in respect to exocytosis. Cells overexpressing the carboxy-terminal region of Bmh2p failed to polarize vesicular transport although bulk exocytosis remained unaffected and showed a disrupted actin cytoskeleton. Our data suggest that 14-3-3 proteins may act primarily on the actin cytoskeleton to regulate vesicle targeting.
